Mar 31, 2008 Serviceable I guess. Not much on the aroma. A hint of malt, but no hops aroma at all. Flavor is pretty bland. Doesn’t linger in the mouth. Doesn’t bring any flavor to the forefront. . . doesn’t bring much flavor at all. Sort of reminds me of drinking brown water.

Mar 28, 2008 very sweet malty aroma.... little hop presence, but quite a bit of maltiness, and a huge amount of sweet caramel malts... Good mouthfeel... sweet finish with mild mild bitterness

Mar 26, 2008 Updated: Apr 3, 2008568 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours a nice deep reddish brown with a mid sized tan head. some caramel from the crystal malt is all i get for the aroma. no trace of hops. nice sweet malty flavours but there is really nothing much going on with this one. again the lack of hops is somewhat dissapointing. bland and mediocure but it does get a bonus point for that extra 68mls in the bottle!

Mar 19, 2008 Clear red color with a decent head. Nutty brown aroma. Taste is bland with a bitter aftertaste.
hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
Mar 17, 2008 Bottle. Medium sized frothy, fizzy tan head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, transparent, carbonation observed, and an orange-reddish hue. Nose was malty, mildly hoppy and a hint of toffee. Ditto for the flavor without any hint of toffee. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Easy drinking beer, has English character to it and decent for the style.
