3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 crajun (685) - , Texas, USA - MAR 9, 2013
on draft at Holy Grail with a burger. didn’t expect this to be so dark - with light red around edges. Nice thicker than average palate. Aroma wasn’t strong (but I was in a bar) but got a little nuts and/or roasted aroma. Taste was roasted malt and caramel sweetness follwed with a bitter finish; coffee? probably wouldn’t order again, but no issues.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Dogbrick (6015) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - FEB 17, 2013
Sample at Hay Merchant in Houston. Dark reddish-brown color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, caramel and a bit of dark fruit in the nose. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, fruity yeast and touches of chocolate. The finish is sweet with a short toasted malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20 Beerenberger (787) - Fischer, Texas, USA - JAN 29, 2013
Aroma is sweet, malty, and fruity. Pours a dark blackish brown with a none lasting tan head and abundant lacing. The taste is malt forward. Sweet. Hops kick toward the end for a nice balance. Medium-light body and medium carbonation. Overall, I wish it were more full bodied.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 valpoaj (531) - Valparaiso, Indiana, USA - JAN 12, 2013
Tap pour in Austin - touted as a ’double brown’ - came through as an opaque mahogany with a moderate sized off-white head that lasted for a while. Aroma is pleasant - sweet and malty with some toasted malts, caramel, hint of dark fruit and dark chocolate. Flavor is also pretty good with sweet malt, brown sugar, roasted nuts, hint of caramel. Palate seems appropriate, although I’m not quite sure of the style (doesn’t seem to be a belgian as RB is showing). Would definitely have this one again - was impressed by this brewery when in the region.

Surprisingly smooth for a double... Poured a very dark brown color in a pint glass with minimal head. Very sweet, malty aroma with similar taste.
