A big ale, the brand is rich and flush with hints of coffee, molasses and finishing with a touch of cashew.

[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/2/2007 2:02:28 PM)
"I liked this one from the first pour:
Deep chestnut brown, decent 2 finger frothy sand colored cap..great lacing.
Big chewy malts in the front...Chocolate-mocha tones...light grassy hopping allow the malts to shine out...smooth malty clean finish.
Not overly complex but severely drinkable and satisfying like all the brews from this brewer. LOMCB is establishing itself as one of the best brewers of solid straight forward malty beers."

[2] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/5/2005 2:54:45 PM)
"Not impressed with the other Muskoka product I had I was pleasently surprised when first tasting the dark ale. The name ('dark ale') doesnt specify exactly what to expect. I found the beer to have a very nut brown character. Hardly any texture. Sythentic flavouring. Overall, this served me as a great cross over beer, but once revisiting, I had to drain pour..."

[3] Review by Crockett from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/4/2005 12:29:04 AM)
"Pours deep red brown with a thin off white head. Chocolate malt, mossy aroma. Somewhat roasty. Body of the beer is a lttle thin. Sweet malts, hops are well to the back. Traces of sour, saltwater taffy, slight wood smoke. Dry sour finish."

[4] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/30/2004 12:32:19 AM)
"Poured a deep amber colour with a beautiful creamy beige head that settled quickly. Left a small amount of lacing. Smelt malty with hints of molasse and tuna (yes... tuna - I know that does not sound pleasant, but it did not ruin the nose). The flavour was matly caramel / coffee with a smooth bitter start and a dry finish. Beats the hell out of Newcastle's english brown ale."
