Alexander Keith's Dark Ale


I love Alexander Keith's, this dark one is fine. Not to heavy smooth neck, almost opaque colour makes it a good fall beer. Mahogany coloured as they call it. You can really taste the coffee note in the aftertaste, the chocolate, a little less.There is still this tiny dark chocolate twitch at the end right after this little tickle on the tongue.  It has 4.1% alcohol by volume. Fine bitterness, not too much so you could probably drink a few. My tasting technique needs a little more work because it is hard to put beers head to head, the last time I drank dark beer was this spring... For what I remember this one distinguishes itself by its dryness not that creamy ones aren't good but, like I have said before, it all depends on your mood. the smell is wonderful blend of aromas from dark beer, roasted coffee, bitter chocolate and something sweet. Even if these beers are supposed to be consumed @room temperature, I prefer them extra-cold!

2.50$ for a 473ml in Quebec

8.2/10
