Jul 18, 2005 Pours copper and mostly clear. Short off white head. Cola, toasted brown bread. Brown sugar, earth and minerals. Really clean. Sweet herbs and caramel. Dulls out in the fruity finish. Tastey and refreshing.

Jul 13, 2005 RBSG 2005. Amber brown body, smallish white head. (3+) Sweet malt and caramel aroma is quite nice. Flavour is similar to the aroma, with malt and caramel and mild toasty notes. While pleasant, it is less robust than hoped for from the aroma. Average palate. Quaffable and servicable, but lacking complexity.

Jul 12, 2005 Sampled at the RBSG ‘05 bottle tasting courtesy of Dickinsonbeer: Pours a dark copper amber with a lightly-lacing light tan head. Aroma is nicely malty and bready wit good German lager characteristics. Body has a pleasant, mild sweetness with good hop balance and drinkability. An enjoyable brew.

Jul 12, 2005 Sample from bottle at RBSG Montreal. Darkish, thick amber body, light retained head...loads of caramel, light vanilla, smelly grasses in the nose...light doughy body, fairly full at first fading to somewhat watery and thin at the finish, lightly smoky...ehh, bit of a disappointment from Victory.

Jul 11, 2005 super caramely malt extract aroma, dark auburn appearance, burnt caramel dominates but the mouthfeel remains silky before a slight hop burst near the finish. Would make a top notch session beer in the fall.

Jun 16, 2005 considering this is an all malt dark lager, i was rather surprised that it was neither dark (more of a deep amber), and it smelled more or floral hops than anything, although there is some caramel malts coming through in the nose as well. the flavor was sweet, lots of caramels, but also alot of flowery hop flavor. still, a very nice, easy to drink lager, with alot more flavor than the helles lager, nice body, a little spicy in the tail, overall enjoyable.
