Sleeman Original Dark

Brewed by Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: Amber Ale
Guelph, Canada

MOR beer. At least it ain’t light. Plain-o. nothing bad or really good about this beer. tastes like plain old regular lagerish beer. I like the lack of a label and the clear glass, looking at beer. nice concept. wish the beer was more interesting.

Sleeman Original Dark has a malty aroma. The color is reddish and the head is a long lasting tan. The flavor starts off with a malty sweetness and finishes with a slight bitterness. The aftertaste is very short lasting.

this really isn’t very good for a red ale, less so for a dark lager. they drink a lot of it up in Toronto, and I found it annoyingly pervasive, much like dandelions in my lawn. underhopped, too sweet, a poseur.

341ml clear bottle. Amber/light brown in colour, decent white head with slight creamy consistancy. Predominantly caramel and light malt aroma, slight floral hop note, but weak. Malt taste, fairly sweet at first with some caramel notes, blends into light hop finish with a faint earthy note.

Clear bottle: poured light brown with a thin head. Light malt aroma and a bit of caramel. Mostly malt in the flavor with a touch of hops. Drinkable but not very enjoyable.

pours an amberish color with a small off-white head, aromas of maltyness, caramel, with also a smell of hops, the taste is sweet, malty with a small presence of hops noticeable, average or below to me, drinkable, but id never buy it.

Excellente, finalement elle est meilleur que le cheval blanc :) pas amer du tout!

"Dark," in this case, means "amber." Not much of a head. The aroma is caramel and butterscotch with little trace of the hops that the commercial description mentions. It’s fairly watery in the mouth. About the only flavor that it carries is caramel malts. There’s a bit of a dirty, earthy hop bitterness in the finish. What’s this doing in the Chicago area?
