Spab (56), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 7, 2008 Sample from bottle at Black Creek Brews Fest. Pours a clear dark copper with disappearing, slightly off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt with some chocolate and a light roastiness. Flavour of chocolate and caramel with a slightly bitter, hopped finish. Bit of a thin body, though overall this was a pleasant surprise since I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. mgermani (621), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 1, 2007 Pours a nice dark amber with a decent head and some lace. Wonderful malty, fruity aroma - sweet and pungent! Taste is a bit less enthralling - plenty of hops put a snap into the initial taste, but it’s quickly made evident that this beer is lacking in malt and tastes watery. Very nutty taste, but where the malt should shine through, only hops remain. The foam helps to make the otherwise thin body a bit creamier, and the carbonation is good. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad beer, but I think it relies to heavily on carbonation and hops to put a bit of bite into an otherwise low-malted beverage. Maybe a different yeast strain? Thanks to Robin for the opportunity to taste this one! robinvboyer (1055), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada May 12, 2007 6 pack from the local beer store. ok, well i must admit off the bat, i’m comming into this rating with very low expectations. Trafalgar is notorious for infected brew, and when the beer isnt infected, its pretty bland and wattery.
With that said, this is quite nice!
small off white head, decent retention for a trafalgar beer. nice sweet maltiness, even breadiness in the aroma. Flavour is crisp, nutty and malty, with a slight bitterness, and really nice carbonation. this is a nice beer. DerWeg (444), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 29, 2007 650ml bottle from LCBO. I found this very clean and crisp-malty for a Trafalgar product. This brewer is very hit-and-miss but there was nothing wrong with this nice little session ale, being so straight and simple it does show a light feel. Nutty, toasty malts and a hint of tingly feeling hops. Hard to fault this particular bottle. GonZoBeeR (2019), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Jun 8, 2006 Nez:cooked vegetable and tofee,nutty.
