Bouteille 341ml. De couleur brune-ambrée foncée et claire. Nez de grains de malt rôtis, léger de noix avec des notes de café ainsi que des traces de de houblon herbeux. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement aqueuse. Faibles notes de tabac lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de grains de malt moyennement rôtis avec des notes de pain grillé et quelques traces de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec des traces de noix et de café. Post-goût moyen-court, très légèrement amer de rôti avec des traces de houblon herbeux et de café.

LCBO, Toronto sampler ($8.95): Pours a dark brown colour with a whitish head. Aroma is of nuts, lager, and a wee bit of fruitiness. Taste is much the same. Very simple lager with little creativity; however, everything is mostly in order in this beer. Good session, as are all the other Cameron’s beers, but like his brothers, this little guy ain’t nothing special.

Purchased in Toronto at a LCBO. Part 3 of 3 dark brown beer that are tested. This one pours a clean brown colour just like the two other brews had tonight (Black Oak Nut Brown and King Dark Lager). Its beige head is not as creamy, not as big and does not stay up as long. The lacing is therefor smaller. The nose is pretty light with dark malt, molasses and raisins. The mouthfeel is not as thin as the others, but still watery. There is a metallic touch in the flavours, with the dark malts and some brown sugar. Other than that, not much here. Was expecting so much more, being that I really like this brewery.

This dark lager poured a black colour with a foamy tan head. Seemed overcarbonated. First sniff found nuts, metal, ripe fruit and some earthy notes. First taste was nice with flavours of molassass, caramel and roasted malt. Almost a slight burnt flavour. Finnish was thick with lingering flavours of roast.

Dark brown ale with reddish hues, and a thick light moka head. Rather light and plain aroma, light sweet caramel. In mouth, rather sweet malt, a bit cloying, not much hops, not much body, dryish. A let down.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium off-white foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma of molasses malt is quite overpowering. Taste of molasses malt are also overly present in this beer and it’s not something that I generally look for. Hops are pretty much non-existent and body is just above average. I’d say this is generally quite boring…

Amber lager. Bright and clear. Toasty, minty aroma, maybe a little appley. Light body. Grassy-citrusy hops. Slight earthiness. Body and malt flavours are both a little thin. Finish is slightly watery, kind of quick. There’s a few things good happening in this beer, but I like my dark lagers more robust.
