A personal favourite. Great pub style pint. Sweeter than the average dark ale.

Wow so I wasn’t expecting this. Ruby pour. Some hops on the nose. Darker malts as well. Creamy mouthfeel. Amazing taste. A great mix of sweet malts with the spice of hops. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste as well. Superb.

What a misnomer ’Traditional’ is...it could be taken to mean standard, boring, run-of-the-mill, and Traditional is none of these. There’s nothing like a Trad after working outside on a hot Albertan afternoon. Tastes best with friends.

My dad brought me a bottle of this when he returned from a recent business trip. Pretty good pick considering the fact that he doesn't drink. This is what I'd call a "salt of the earth" type of beer. A very solid beer. Very little to complain about. I mean...it's got a great balance of malt and hops. It's a pretty beer. Very clean tasting. Sure...it doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" of some Belgian beers or Imperial Stouts. But this is a solid beer. This is my definition of a terrific "every day" beer!

This beer pours a clear reddish copper and has a nice white creamy head. Scents are of caramel and malts. The initial taste consisted of sugar, caramel and medium roasted malts. The flavour finish is of a slightly sweet/bitter taste and a smooth malty palate. One of my favs from Big Rock!
