Pours a hazey, semi clear brown colour with a medium tan head. Rumbles full of nuttiness, fresh roasted coffee, vanilla and maple syrup. Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated, othewise smooth and creamy- lots of sweet, not overly rich roasted malt and nutty flavors.

Nice dark amber color with an off white head and ok lacing. Sweet/malty aroma. The taste is like the smell, sweet, malty, full bodied.

Bottle. Poured deep brown with thin beige head. Full malty aroma. Malty flavour, with nutty and toffee notes. Lasting pleasing finish. Just enough hoppiness. Note: don’t serve this too cold!

Chestnut brown colour. Rich, thick head. The aroma is nutty, chocolatey. Smooth, creamy body with a palate of nuts and light chocolate.

Bottle. Dark brown pour w/ small head. Not at all memorable, was expecting much more. Smooth taste but very weak. Typical brown but very weak.
