Upper Canada Dark Ale

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

Bottle. Malt heavy aroma. Reddish brown with some carbonation visible. Not much head or lace. Good, malty beer. Some English character. Very malty; good though. Solid beer.

Bottle. Healthy chestnut brown with red infusion. Slight nuances of maple and burnt wood layered over a typical dark/chocolate malt body. Low-key chocolate flavour first and foremost, and mild bitter coffee finish. A soft-spoken-yet-pleasant dark.

Brown and transparent with light off white head. Some roasted malts and slighty sour nose. Brown bread with some light brown sugar. FInishes a little sticky.

Well it wasn’t bad, but I’m convinced it’s not as good as it used to be. It used to be richer and maltier. Like I said, I still enjoyed it but it was less hearty, more watered down, likely for mass appeal, and with almost no aftertaste. Still poured a dark brown color with ample white head. Aroma was next to nothing and the taste was pretty standard and unoffensive. What happened here?

341 ml bottle. pours dark brown with an ave tan head. great malty aromas, mostly roasted carmally goodness. malty flavours with a tight hop finish. a well crafted brown ale.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a one finger head and a light malt aroma. The flavor is sweet and malty with some very light fruit and nut notes. It’s really easy to drink, but could use a little more body. Not bad.

copper hue with off white head, the aroma and flavor may rival with those in big cities.

(draft @ The Old Towne Restaurant - Niagara on the Lake, ON) Chestnut brown color with a puffy tan head. Sweet and nutty aroma with a good amount of malt. Flavor is very sweet with lots of caramel, nuts, and sweet malts. Finishes a little watery.
