I think this is the right one. Draught at an Irish restaurant that says they fly their kegs in from Ireland. Poured black with creamy tan head, built into a traditional pint. Aroma of roast malt, fresh barley toast and molasses. Creamy body, with more malt, molasses and a bit of coffee. Malty finish, with the hop edge and touch of chocolate. Light enough for a session beer.
Earlier Rating: 8/25/2007 Total Score: 3.9
Bottle. Poured black with thick tan head. Aroma of malt and some bread. Flavour, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and malt. Lasting finish with more coffee. A very worthy stout

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a very pale straw color with a medium sized soapy white head. The aroma was sour and tangy industrial lager. The flavor was dryish, sour and tangy industrial lager. The finish was dry and bitter. Typical.

Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Alright lager, some cardboard throughout. Hey what did I expect? It’s a pretty crappy mass produced lager.

Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Very weak gold colour, thin white head. Odd malt aroma, sweaty cardboard also. It doesn’t taste of anything, some lemon on finish. OK.

S3L2T4F3O10: max ice by labatt. Smell is a bit like cheap corny lager or malt liquor. I poured this into a big 24 ounce heavy glass mug. Nice streams of sparkling carbonation can be observed within. This is fairly strong on the taste buds with a relative amount of offense. It is not as strong as many rude cheap ice beers I’ve had. This almost uncouth beer has a decent amount of tingly carbonation on the palate. Does not become really vulgar, at first, anyway. That sharp aroma of malt liquor never quite develops on the palate. Not much stronger than the typical labatt ice. I found this easier to drink when compared to many appalling ice beers. Overall, not really bad, anyhow.

LABATS PORTER S6L4F3T6013 My twist off bottle label says John Labatt Signature Porter. Nice malty or carob aroma. Impressive pour for a cheap mysterious beer. Very dark with an initially creamy head which goes almost rocky after the pour! Some hints of alky but overall the taste is well behaved and friendly. Roasty porter with a slight labats background. Good carbonation for a porter. Not bad, perhaps there is some choco in the flavor too. A tad thin for a porter, just barely. Is not offensive, yet retains a nice dark beer attribute. Finish reminds me of many dark American lagers, well behaved, courteous and gentlemanlike with southern manners.

Recent not 2014: The bottle I had today said Labatt red lage, did not say amber on it ....old rating: ’’LABATTS RED AMBER LAGER S5L4F3T6012 My twist off bottle says John Labatt Red Amber Lager. Smells better than most labatt beers, has a bit more quality and perhaps it’s a little more volatile to the olfactory. This makes me think it’s above 5%. Much darker than expected. Unhazy dark brown maroon pour. No head. Smooth initial taste sensations. Gentle yet has enough personality to say it’s more than a pale lager. Certainly more than a wishy-washy lager by anybody’s standards. On par with many Michelob dark lagers. Nice shadowy lager. Could easily drink many of these in a session. Good experience. Likable brew which does not get under yer skin. Finish is not bitter and it can be affable. ’’

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel amber color with a large soapy white head. The aroma was sour, tangy industrial lager. The flavor was sour, tangy and had a light touch of honey. The finish was sour tangy industrial. Not good.
