Dark, Alberta stout is a hearty, full flavoured, rich, rewarding, soul-uplifting beer that’s deeply satisfying. Made with dark roasted imported and domestic malts.

Draft @ Korea Location: Poured a deep black with a tan color head. Aroma is thick licorice and roasted malt. Taste is a bit sourish with some aging roasted malt.

Bottle, sampled at Viti, pours dark reddish brown. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel and a little chocolate. Roasted flavours dominate with coffee and chocolate, and subtle fruitiness, but all watered down. How this is classified as a stout is beyond me. Drinkable.

tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours dark brown, but not dark for a stout, with a thin light tan head. It smells and tastes mainly of the roast caramel malts along with some mild hops bitterness. It’s medium bodied and struck me as some kind of hybrid between an amber and a stout. Pretty good though.

Clear dark brown beer, with a light malt and chocolate aroma. Light chocolate notes in mouth with a touch of coffee. Slightly dry mouthfeel. Lighter bodied than expected, on the watery side, but still enjoyed it. But this is not a stout!!!

Good lightly roasted malt nose. I expected the flavor to be similar, but it was rather thin and weak. Nose promises more the the flavor delivers

My recollection of the new version of this beer is vague, but the old, 7% version was a dryish porter that drank light for its size. If I recall, the new version is similar, but a shade less interesting.
