In the bottle from Smokeless Joe’s in Toronto. Pours a chestnut color with a thin off-white head. Has a slightly fruity aroma. Unfortunately, it was rather watery and somewhat of a bore.

Medium brown colour. Rich, thick head. Aroma is mainly metallic with a hint of roast. Light toastiness, fairly watery body, hints of chocolate. Purports to be an American Dark and that’s exactly what it delivers.

Deep brown color with reddish hue in the light. Thin white head. Slightly oxidized nose but generally clean otherwise. Sweetish flavors. Quite thin and watery.

I tried this beer on February 14, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a reddish-brown with a very thin whitish coloured head. The aroma was malty, with some caramel sweetness. The mouthfeel was light, almost watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour is mainly malty, with a slight sweetness that gives way to some bitterness.

341 ml bottle. pours very dark redbrown with a medium tan head that fades quickly. lots of very tiny bubble carbonation. aromas very small but consist of dark malts, caramel, a touch of chocolate, barley. flavours are exactly like the aromas and also very thin and watery. not bad for a lager but overall forgetable.
