Wellington County Dark Ale

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.

The thing I like about this beer (and all Wellington products I suppose) is that they are such an easy, reliable choice. Enough flavor to always be interesting but drinkable enough that I always feel like one.....or two....or three.

Dark copper in colour, aroma of nut and toffee. Good taste of chocolate and malt.

Aroma of nice mild chocolate, some cherry notes. Pours a dark copper, clear, with off-white head. Mild choco smoothness, slight sour finish. Light, but creamy, palate. An enjoyable, session-drinking pint.

473ml can. Pours dark brown with almost no head. Aroma of caramel, molasses, cherry. Mouthfeel is thin and a bit watery. Flavour is wonderful: chocolate, molasses, coffee with nuttiness, tea. Slightly bitter in the finish, short.

Poured nice reddish-brown, thin head, spicey berry aroma. Medium mouthfeel, fruity nutty malty taste with a hint of coffee. Subtle bitternes at finish. Enjoyable.

Can. Looks like a dark lager. Very dark copper with a decent head. Very light aroma with hints of cereal and chocolate. Tasty like a brown ale. Malty, nutty and chocolate. A nice balanced hop presence.
