A dark beer can be a very scary thought to some people. Surprise, surprise. There's no other beer quite like Waterloo Dark, refreshingly light and delicate in taste but rich in colour. Don't be afraid of the dark. surprise yourself.

[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/22/2008 1:24:13 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a clear above average brown color lager with a large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by lightly sweet malt note. Definitely too thin for the style with some average carbonation. Refreshing but a bit thin and lacing some flavour."

[2] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/1/2007 5:16:19 PM)
"I'm still not too sure what to make of the wild pig on the bottle. What does it have to do with dark beer...or Waterloo? An amber coloured lager that is clearly darker than the old Amber Dry. The aroma is weak with some sweet malty aroma. The mouthfeel is thin and watery. The taste is just as non-existent. "

[3] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/11/2007 11:21:58 PM)
"341ml bottle
5.0% ABV
I tried this beer on July 11, 2007 at Jack Astor's Restaurant (Front/York) in Toronto. The beer poured a dark reddish-brown into the glass with little head, and constant effervescence. What head there was........was gone in the blink of an eye. The aroma was weak with malt. The mouthfeel was thick and full-bodied. The taste was bland for a dark beer, some malt flavour, but not much else."

[4] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/1/2007 2:26:07 AM)
"What's this all about? It started well, with a rich, dark amber colour but it all went downhill from there. Head was conspicuous by its abesence, and there was a very faint aroma of perhaps some malt. Taste was slightly malt, but not much else. Mouthfeel was seriously thin, and no aftertaste to speak of. This cannot be my either my last review of 2006 nor my first of 2007. Gotta do better than this!"

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (9/13/2006 1:29:41 AM)
"This cheap schwarzbier pours a dark red-brown colour with a good creamy tanned head that has decent retention and nice thick lacing. The carbonation is quite active with tiny bubbles. The scent is mild with malt at first, then turns into a mix of roasted malt and not-so-good sourness. Smooth mouthfeel with a slight crispiness to it. The taste is mild too, with some little molasse very well-hidden and some corn. Overall, it is one of the better brews from Brick Brewing, but for the style, I much prefer the Kostritzer and the Escousse. This is a dark lager to be enjoyed from the bottle."
