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!!!

This beer pours a clear reddish copper and has a nice white creamy head. Scents are of caramel and malts. The initial taste consisted of sugar, caramel and medium roasted malts. The flavour finish is of a slightly sweet/bitter taste and a smooth malty palate. One of my favs from Big Rock!

Pours a amber colour with a white head that didn't last too long even after a vigorous pour. Heavy malt scents along with honey doughy yeast notes. Smooth initial sip. Very nice slightly toasted malt flavour with a little sweetness. The finish was a little doughy with some more bread flavours. Flavour disappeared quickly though unfortunatly.

Light brown brew with almost no head or carbonnation. Aroma of yeast and hopps is really sweet. Taste is a bit of let down compared to the aroma with a palate that is too watery. Drinkable but not exceptionnal

Pourred an amber brew with a medium head. Overall, this is your middle of the road. pretty standard tradional ale. Nothing bad but nothing out of the ordinary. This is your average everyday beer but in no way can it be considered a session brew.

Like a slightly fruity pale ale. A little bit honey aroma, lightbodied and a hint of bitterhop finish. Rather boring though.

Sparkling gold, fast fading beige head. Grainy astringent nose. Foretaste is corny, finishing rather metallic.Large bead. Rather gassy. Nowhere near the quality of the old Springbok Re rate: Nov 9/05 Obviously a different beer than the first I tried. Brown this time, small beige head. Light malt nose. light sweet malt profile with no discernable hops. Considerably better this time around, but still nothing special This should be listed as a separate beer, 03/04 were golden. and a totally different beer.

Black with no head. Great chocolate coffee nose. Unfortunately it smells far better than it tastes. Rather thin and weak light coffee flavor with light roasted finish

Saw this tonight at my local hangout, which means its poured through dirty lines. A short history....Big Rock now owns Whistler. I strongly suspect this is a revamped version of Whistler Lager with slightly less malt and slightly more hops. Will re rate when I find it at a decent bar

At one time I rather liked this...especially on tap. Now, as there are more and more beers available, I find this rather bland, but still quaffable
