Okay, I realize to the regular users of this group my question may
verge on sacrilege, but my defense is that in my 21 years of drinking
real beer, I drank my lifetime's share ;-)

Several years ago I was served a dealcoholized dark beer in a New York
City rib house which to the best of my otherwise lousy recollection was
made by Guinness. Has anyone ever heard of or know the name of the
product?

Kaliber?

Dark ? IMHO that would not be Kaliber, but rather "Guinness Malt" which
is made by one of the African subsidiaries of Guinness. It's not really
a beer, though. It's a malt-extract soft drink, similar to german
"malzbier / malztrunk".

I stand corrected. Had no idea of the existence of that beer.

Think of all the people you've talked to who think Sam Adams is a "dark"
beer.

Thank you, Lew. ;^}
To my defence, the last time I saw Kaliber, must have been 1990 or
thereabouts... Colour?
Joris

Yeah. What Joris said.
lol. It *was* a pretty tasty NA brew but I hear it's contract brewed in
Canada now.

It's a straw coloured pilsner style product.

No big deal since it's not a beer, Joris. )

Thanks to all the posters. I probably misspoke in calling it "dark". I
think Kaliber is what i was looking for and it is described by Guinness
as being "deep amber". I have not had Malta but it sounds like it would
be too sweet. If I can come across a bottle, I shall report back!

This kind of malty soft drinks is terribly sweet, like unfermented wort
with sugar added.

You're more likely to come across it, on the East Coast, at least, in
the "Hispanic" section of your local supermarket on the bottom shelf.
Usually, one or two brands- GOYA in a 7 oz. 10 pack or long neck 12 oz.
individual bottles the most common. I saw some sort of "premium" brand
last time I dusted off the bottles...

(Supposedly the core business at The Lion (Stegmaier) brewery).
