Wellington County Dark Ale

Brewed by Wellington County Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
Guelph, Canada

341 ml bottle courtesy pintbypint. Dark copper colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. Caramel and light piny and earthy aroma. Caramel, earthy, bread, and fruity flavours. Light to medium bodied, lightly fizzy and juicy mouthfeel.

Bright orange/copper color with a taller dark beige head. Sweet roasted malt, light coffee and dark chocolate in the aromas. Nose dulls after a bit, but a nice start. Smooth flavors, just not a lot of them. Roasted nuts and caramel seem to be all I get out of this one. A mild dark malt bitterness in the finish. Thanks jerc.

Roasted malt aroma, clear ruby with medium sized toffee head. Big roasted malt, nutty with a touch of caramel flavour, pleasant bitterness as well. Nicely balanced, good after taste of the malts. A very good Ale although not exactly pale?

Cask. Dark amber. Creamy tan head. Fruity (cherry) aroma w/ caramel & slight vinegar notes. Medium body. Fruity, chocolaty flavour w/ some nuttiness. Moderate-light bitterness. Wet finish.

341ml bottle acquired in trade with blankboy (thanks!). Poured a deeper reddish / brown with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted nuts, caramel and light chocolate. Tastes of toasted nuts, caramel, cocoa, and toffee. Thinner body.

I enjoyed this beer, it had a toasty flavour and had hints of chocolate and coffee.

341 ml. bottle. Dark chestnut brown with a small head. Aroma of chocolate & caramel, a touch of English hops, and a slight astringency. Flavour is good; some sweetness, some roasted malt and hop bitterness, some nuttiness, and a bittersweet finish. Medium body. Nicely carbonated. Very drinkable.

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.
