Pours a translucent dark brown with a quickly fading white head. Aroma was light with some caramel. Flavor was lightly roasted malts, with some chocolate, toffee, and walnuts. Hops were not particularly biter, but effective. Mouthfeel was thin and watery up front with a filmy, sticky finish. Overall this is a fair beer. ohemming (22), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Bottle. Nice appearance, not very complex, but enjoyable, a good beer. I guess I’ve been drinking too many Belgian beers lately so this tastes a little watered down, but its a good bitter. Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA

I tried this beer on August 13, 2007 after purchasing from my local LCBO store. The beer poured a dark brown with a small head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is malty with a hint of almond. The mouthfeel is thick and fullbodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is a slight touch on the sour side with some citrusy hints backed up by a heavy malty taste. This beer goes down very well. jhliesen (403), West Melbourne, Florida, USA
