The aroma is caramel, light toasted malt, nuts, and some weak herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is rather one dimensional with notes of sweet light caramel and some toasted malt notes, and a mildly bitter finish. A nice dunkel for a cool morning, but nothing outstanding.

The aroma was grains, alcohol, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was sweet and grainy with a definite alcohol presence and some old leathery notes. I'm quite surprised that D.A.B. would pass a beer like this off as a Maibock when it more closely resembles a beer like the Crest and Faxe 10% strong lagers. I rarely drain-pour a beer, and I can't remember the last time I did it, but add this beer to the short list of my drain-pours (I almost feel sorry for the drain).

330ml bottle <br> 10.7% ABV (as marked on the bottle) <br> Bar Hop (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> December 6, 2013 <br> $13.95<br> Note: This beer is described as an Imperial Stout. While the bar I was at has been in contact with the brewer and it's rep in Canada due to the possibility of quality issues, the brewer insists that what's in the bottle is the proper beer. The beer poured a solid reddish-broen colour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was yeast, dark fruits, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with above average carbonation. The flavour was tart fruit and yeast, with some graininess. Despite what the brewer says, I believe that the beer I had was a sour Belgian Strong Ale and not an Imperial Stout as the bottle/label/brewer suggests. I have graded it as what it was supposed to be.
