puzzl (1732), New York, New York, USA Jul 4, 2008 Sample from a bottle. Dark brown pour with a fizzy head. Much sugary sweetness in the flavor with light, grainy malt and no hops. Rather dull, not much like a brown.
bsm80 (63), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Nice appearance dark red/brown, sweet, toffee, rich and thick. Creamy head, nice lasting aftertaste. SuperDave70 (766), Arizona, USA Sep 4, 2008 Dark brown pour with a thick foamy tan head. Aroma of burnt malt, molasses and funky yeast. Flavor wasn’t nearly as interesting. The burnt malt seems to overpower everything else. A bit thin on the palate. Not too impressive. ucusty (1062), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Sep 4, 2008 Thin dark pour with a fluffy khaki colored head. Yeast, roast, and maple on the nose. Roast, coffee, and chocolate. Unbalanced nbutler11 (161), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 27, 2008 Pours a watery black from the bottle with an almost fizzy tan head. Yeast and faint molasses on the nose with flavors of dark cocoa, toasted malts, and copper in the taste. Appears to be a stout, but tastes very much like an unbalanced brown. Biddle_Brau (135), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 26, 2008 Dark with ruby highlights and thin white head hardly a hint of aroma. Slight burnt roastiness/coffee thin palate (seems typical of the Abita’s I’ve had). Not sure if this wants to be a stout or dark lager with the roasiness but it’s not what I’d expect from a brown, either.
