A - Pours a rich deep dark brown with a full inch of darker mocha colored head, great lacing, good retention

S - Sweet lactose, roasted chocolates. Kind of simple

T - Sweet and chocolaty up front followed by more bitter/roasty malts. Lots of sweet lactose

M - A little lighter than I expected. Still medium bodied, appropriately carbonated.

O - Nothing too crazy, very very well balanced, pretty drinkable. Lactose sweetness compliments the roastyness nicely - lactose and body are much improved after letting this warm up a good bit

This was the nitro but they say it's an alias. I poured into a standard pint glass and it looked pretty good. Nice head that settled to a thin layer that lasted throughout. Not much smell to speak of, slight caramel. Taste is weak and watery, not much there. Very disappointing, maybe this is a dead bottle? It doesn't taste bad just not much going on. The mouth feel is thin and watery and not much carbonation, that is what make me think it is not fresh.

I won't try this one again unless someone gives me one and says I should give it a second chance. Still it was better then a can of Labatts or Bud.

It certainly doesn't line up with what others are saying in there reviews. I can't see how so many are rating it above a 3.5
