Bottle. Deep bronze and a small pock-marked head. Woodsy aroma, almost bark-like. Fairly rich flavors ... sweet, brown sugar, syrup. Not much different than the pale ale I just had, but fuller bodied. (#2880a, 5/14/2007)

to be tottlay honest..It has that typical ’Big Rock Ale’ taste to it..sweetness...not as sweet as thie honey brown..ack..but not as malty as their Trad. Overall..one of their more drinkable offerings

341ml brown bottle. Coppery orange in colour, compact lasting white head. Caramel malt aroma, slight whiff of fruit. Quite malty, toffee, butterscotch, toasted malts. Finishes with some light roasted notes, faint bitterness in the finish with woody sour notes.

Once the best beer in Alberta now sadly a mere shadow of what it once was. Fresh on tap this was amazing tons of malt and a pleasing hop bitterness. Big Rock doesn’t keg this anymore. Unfortunately with a bit of age it tasted like fucking cardboard. I don’t buy this anymore but Page 56 of Michael Jackson’s GBG and only 467 Classic Brews to go.

I worked for Buzzard’s in Calgary, which introduced me to the fine variety of products from Big Rock Brewery.. really missing those beers!

Amber body with a moderate creamy off white head. (3+) Caramel malt aroma, light grainy/cereal notes. Sweet caramel flavour. Slight notes of alcohol in the finish and a warming sensation in the throat. Average to medium palate could be thicker, but the lightness adds to the quaffability. Simple but surprisingly drinkable. Wish I had realised that this was available locally sooner.

Once again for an Irish ale this is a great effort. Balnced with caramel notes and good malt, grain flavor.....finish is decent as well.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry courtesy of presario. Pours a clear amber-orange with a nice size lasting foamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, fruit and mild hops. Mild but smooth flavour of caramel malt and alcohol with a light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Nothing special but it’s a decent beer and definitely the best Big Rock has to offer.
