Wellington County Dark Ale

500 mL can. Sweet malt, hops, and maple aroma. Caramel malt. Smooth finish. Solid and pretty straight forward ale. Welly’s a pretty damn solid brewery.

473 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Deep reddish-brown with a so-so light tan head. Aroma: Some nice dark malt aromas – lightly nutty, some brown sugar and a touch of molasses, some dark dried fruitiness, some chocolate as it warms. Palate: Medium body, fairly active effervescence, somewhat slick and smooth. Flav.: Cola-like herbals, some molasses and brown sugar, a little nutty, not as fruity as the nose, some light chocolate; dry with a touch of bitterness and a light, pleasantly malty finish.

Quite tasty and quaffable.

From LCBO (Toronto, ON). Pours a cola brown color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, light roast, light spice, some hints of candy sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, spice, yeast, wheat, hints of brown sugar. Generally light to medium body with a watery finish.

Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours red-brown with a white head. Aroma is caramel, malt, and some attempted sugary sweetness. Flavor is similar with a somewhat dry finish to this light-medium bodied beer.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours dark brown with gold edges and thin tan head. The aroma is roasty with chocolate and some molasses. The taste mirrors the notes noticed in the nose with tasty chocolate mixing with molasses. The beer ends with a bit of roastiness that dries out the flavor a tad.

Pours red. Smells very oxidized, musty. Flavor is pretzels, carboard, toast. Real dry. I am guessing travel killed this beer based on other peoples ratings.

oured out a clear but quite dark amber with a fizzy off white cap that fades to a ring. The aroma is upfront with the malts, brown sugar, dark caramel, roasted and a touch of coffee. The taste is pretty heavy on malts as well with weak coffee, roasted malts, caramel, fruit, the hops hide until the end. Very carbonated, light medium bodied. The mouth feel is so-so, nothing to remember but it is sufficient for the style. Dry, middle and end is a solid bitterness. Not to sure about this being classified as an English Pale Ale. Forgettable but tasty.

I was suggested this beer by a friend. Pour is dark copper brown with a medium tan coloured head. Aroma of caramel and malts and a bit of a chocalate note. Taste is malty and a bit nutty. A very plain, simple yet enjoyable brown ale.
