500 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a hotel rocks glass.

Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Cardboard, caramel and light nuttiness, a touch vinous, a bit fruity, a bit of earth hops, cherries?; dry with a touch of bitterness and a pleasantly, light, malty finish.

I used to think that this was the shiz-nit. I don’t mind drinking it, but shiz-nit, it is shiz-not.

light caramel, with a light chemical taste. needs to be served very cold. in germany an expensive one wich makes it less interesting.

Amber colour with a thin head, no detectable aroma, slightly sweet with a hint of caramel, over carbonated and for me has an odd after taste (phenol?), not quite as bad as I remembered but not worthy of its reputation, I will not be buying it again, only bought this one as it was on offer and for the photo for my collection.

0.33 bottle. Pale chestnut)brown color, creamy head, soft carbonation. Smell is malty, medium sweet. Taste is sweet, too. Flavor’s caramell-malty, medium body and slick, mild mouthfeel. Finish is bitter, it remains long. Good one.

Decent for drinking fast. Mild sourness and bitterness. A little bit of caramel roastiness, very mild choco flavor.. Light, fizzy, alright.

Bottle. Pours medium brown with a tan frothy head that quickly dissipated. Smelled malt and a slight hint of vinegar initially, but not much aroma afterwards. Flavor is sweet and malty with a hint of burnt sugar. The aftertaste was slightly sour. Light body with a watery mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Draft. Pours brown with thin tan head. Aroma of toasted malts. Flavor is sweet caramel malts and some nuttiness. Medium body with soft carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel.

Nice brown appearance. Smooth, great malt/caramel flavor, mild bitterness thats barely noticeable.
