Pour is dark brown with a tan head. Nose is malty with some sweetness from chocolate and fruit. Taste is nice with sweetness from the malts and a hint of plum. Mouthfeel is medium and has good effervescence. All in all pretty good ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Brown/mahogany appearance. Dissipating, Medium frothy beige head. Wet cardboard, caramel, a little chocolate I suppose. Light body. Flavor as a little more going on than the aroma. Moderate roasty, caramel, chocolate, nutty.

MarinEvelyn (126) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 30, 2013
aroma- very slight coffee/toffee scent. something airy, I first thought lead, but i’m not sure. pours dark brown with a decent tan head which dissipates quickly. Tastes much better than it smells. Chocolate, toffee. Malt. A little watery but not the worst.

Emeister84 (430) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Aromas of cocoa, nuts, and toffee. Dark brown with moderately lasting, khaki head foam. Off-dry with hints of chocolate. Light-medium bodied, silky smooth, with low carbonation, and finishes clean with some lingering toasty and nutty flavors.

GIJOE (126) - Monterey, California, USA - MAR 17, 2013
Pours very dark brown, almost black. Thin head that dissipates in seconds leaving a faint film and the bubble halo around the edge. Aroma is faint bread and a hint of malty sweetness and raisins. Flavor is mostly sweet maltiness. Not much more. A little dry on the finish. Not unpleasantly. Decent body; lively carbonation. Not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Wolfenkopf (154) - Villa Park, Illinois, USA - MAR 5, 2013
The aroma is faintly of chocolate and malt, though there is not much to it. It is extremely dark, looking more like a stout. The head thins quickly into tiny islands, but does not fade entirely. The taste is a very pleasant mixture of mild chocolate and malt with a hint of toffee bordering on hazelnut. The palate is treated well, with only mild carbonation causing the slightest of burn. It is otherwise smooth. There is a malt aftertaste. Though I wished for more character in taste and especially aroma, this is a nice dark brown ale.

Bottle. This is a pretty bland Brown without much to make it stand out from the crowd.
