Wellington County Dark 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.

Draught at the Cloak and Dagger, Toronto. Rich, well balanced dark ale. Hints of chocolate, caramel, molasses. Relatively sweet but with a very good hop balance. Rich malts and cereals, with a smooth, creamy body. Well done.

473ml Can courtesy MrManning from a long ago trade. Reddish brown pour, slightly watery with a thin white head. Caramel malt and bread dough aroma. Smooth malty taste with hints of caramel sweetness. Decent session Pale Ale.
