Matt's weekly choice: Muskoka Dark Ale
Look - 3.5 Smell - 3.25 Taste - 4 Feel - 3.5 Overall - 3.75
Look - Poured from a 355ml bottle into a pint glass. Deep brown with two fingers of beige coloured head that disappeared quickly. It had a bit of lace (when the foam sticks to the side of the glass) making the beer look quite nice while drinking.
Smell - Deep chocolate and nutty notes with a hint of coffee.
Taste - Bitter chocolate, coffee and roasted malt taste. Leaves a burnt bitter after taste.
Feel - Easy drinking, thin beer considering it is dark ale. Medium to high carbonation that makes it quite smooth.
Overall - To start off I will say that I enjoy many varieties of dark ale and have a bit of a bias towards it. It is surprisingly easy drinking considering it is a dark ale and is one of the only dark ales that I can enjoy more than one or two of in a single sitting. Might be a little over carbonated but that is probably to make up for its consistency. Easy drinking and quite an enjoyable craft brew.
- Matt
