Beer Review – Hockley Dark Ale
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on March 20, 2010
Name: Hockley Dark
Origin: Canada
Style: Dark Ale (5% ABV)
Appearance: Its a dark, reddish colour. Pours with a large, foamy head that has very good retention.
Taste: Hockley’s Dark has a very strong aroma of hay and grain. The beer itself tastes breads and strong notes of bitter coffee. This beer is somewhat watery despite its strong aroma.
Mouth Feel: Soft and light on the tongue. Due to its wateriness, it is quite refreshing for a darker beer.
Final Thoughts (3.5 out of 5): Canned beer tends to be on the lower quality side of the scale though sometimes there are exceptions. This is one of them.
