boto (1319), Granby, Connecticut, USA Apr 26, 2008 Draught @ Fox & Hound: This one pours with a decent sized white head on it. It doesn’t linger long. There was no real lacing to it. The color is a ruby-tinged brown. The aroma was OK, although not too strong. notes of molasses, caramel, maybe a hint of roastiness. Slightly less than a medium body. The taste was slightly sweet with notes of the caramel and molasses. A hint of hops for balance. Not very exciting, but very drinkable. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Apr 19, 2008 500ml can

I tried this beer on March 12, 2008 after purchasing from my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a dark translucent reddish-brown with a 1" head which disappeared quickly. The first aromatic flavour that hit me was molasses. There was also some sweet malt and cherry hints. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour was malty/grainy with some unplaceable sourness. An alright beer. WesKBob (317), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a thin, creamy head. Sweet aroma with lots of honey and malt. The flavor is very similar, with lots of sweetness and a strong honey flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth, but a little watery and overly carbonated. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way to buy again. greedycheater (80), Oklahoma, USA Apr 16, 2008 Deep dark brown pour with a healthy head that dissipates quickly. Strong appearance accopmanied by an equally strong aroma. Sweet and malty with caramel and molasses just slightly offset by hints of floral hops. Definitely medium bodied, if not medium to full. Smooth on the tongue, clear of any biting hoppiness. Taste of roasted malt dominates with hints of sweet fruits but overall very mild. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Apr 16, 2008 Nice beer for a mega brew. Pours a creamy tah head. Beer pours a nice brown color. Good malty flavor and beer is well balanced. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Decent brew. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 14, 2008 Pours with a foamy, off-white head covering a brown body. Aroma is buttery with roast malts. Taste is salty, and malty-sweet with a fizzy mouthfeel. HopBackDoc (393), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 13, 2008 Decent beer from a good German brewer. Aroma of malts and molasses. Malty, smoky taste with a dry finish. Decent session beer. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Apr 12, 2008 500 ml can
caramel malty nose. good brown pour, wattery body, and mouthfeel, slightly hoppy, but quite malt flavour, meh, run of the mill dark lager, i was really let down when i saw hop extract in the ingredients list.
