COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Is a robustly flavored ale made with top fermentation ale yeast. The beer is lightly hopped and black malt gives it darker color. The fruity ale-like esters blend well with the subtle hoppiness and hints of coffee/chocolate to deliver a unique beer.

This is the best beer I’ve ever had! I know most people have reasons for their favorite, and I will probably take flack because some other people don’t like this, but this is one I could drink day after day after day! I couldn’t get enough of it when I was in Australia - I only wish they sold it in the states, or, I knew a way of getting it here to enjoy. If anyone knows how to get it here, please let me know!

Bottled (Thanks to my cousin Kaj!). Deep ambery brown colour with a beigeish brown head. Aroma is mild roasted malts, caramel, some raisins and mild dark dry fruityness. Flavour is the same along with some mild burnt sugary notes as well as some slight resiny notes. Quite pleasant and balanced.

When i first got into beer i thought this beer was great, now not so much however clearly the best beer by Tooheys . Coffee is quite dominant along with hints of caramel and chocolate.

Westmeister (463) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - OCT 2, 2011
Draft. Pours a dark, almost black with a tan head and great lacing throughout. Smell and taste is of raosted, almost burnt coffee with some chocolate. There is some bitterness from both the coffeeness and hops. Not much depth and a bit thin, but was actually surprised with this one. And surprised this is considered a brown ale.

dark as coca-cola, nice aroma, nice texture but the finish is disappointing. If dark beer is your sort of thing then worth looking for.

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 4, 2011
Pours dark brown with ruby highlights and a small head. Nose shows nutty malt, chocolate, caramel and cardboardy notes. Flavours include caramel, nutty malt and slight roasty notes. Very easy drinking. Carbonation is a bit on the high side. Quite impressed with this to be honest.

Love this easy drinking dark beer. Nothing special in any way just an awesome quaffer for dark beer fans. Pretty much dominated by toasted malts with a slight bitterness to finish it off
