review: Brick Brewing Waterloo Union Mills Porter

Today's beer adventure: Waterloo Brewing Co. Union Mills Porter (Waterloo, ON). 473ml can. 7.0% ABV. Served in pint glass. Was given the beer by my beer loving co-worker Rob, who was less than impressed with the brew. Available at SLGA outlets. ~$17.00/6 tallboys.

The pour is dark dark brown - almost black. Very small amount of tan head. Very little retention. Light carbonation.

Aroma is sweet, malty and roasty. Some lingering "kit twang" on the nose.

The flavour as the nose without the kit twang. Roasted malt and molasses. Negligible hop character. No real off flavours

Rating is 3.5/10 dogs. It's like a decent kit beer. Not a GREAT kit beer, but a decent one. Your buddies will drink it because you made it..not because they like it.
