Bottled. Brown coloured. Nutty and malty aroma. Malty flavour with a sharp roasted finish.

Draft sampled @ Chez Moeder Lambic // thx to ajax25g // light brown with a tanned bubbly head // smell is sweet, definetly candy sugar, touch faro-like; caramel, fruity, definetly smell better than it taste but taste is far from bad // taste is sweet, candy sugar in here, faro-esque (no sourness here, just the kind of sweetness of a faro), caramel malts, spices, nuts, hint of lipton ice tea // soft carb, touch too light body for me // not bad, seems like Spain is coming up these days, will Spain become the new Italy? It is possible

Draft @ Moeder Lambic, Fontainas. Continuing the crusade for better Castilian beers, the beer sort of reminded me of a light Black IPA. Brune trouble, col léger blanc/beige. Arôme malt grillé, grains, houblonné assez fleuri avec un bouquet malté restant nettement plus en avant. En bouche, malt grillé, caramel sur ce finit rappelant des houblons US notamment de Northern Brewer rajoutant un agréable profile d’amertume. Le tout conserve une approche qui pour moi oscille entre un côté bien malté et cette balance houblonnée entre une belle amertume et pointe sèche de grains. Houblon est fleuri et herbacé avec une note de résine et de pin. Fin de bouche est collante aux lèvres. Belle découverte.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Dark brown body with soapy head. Very inviting. Nose is sweet with toffees, wheat and some citrus. Taste is roasty malts, some chocolate and coffee. Smooth texture. Very easy to drink and enjoyable.

Appearance: dark mahogany brown, decently opaque, with a creamy light tan head. Aroma: caramel, toffee, nuts, dark bread, with a hint of citrus. Taste: roasty, with a hint of chocolate and coffee, definite notes of chestnuts, maybe some nougat, with a litte more bitterness as it warms. Finish: slightly hoppy, slightly bitter, and clean. Notes: Perfectly acceptable, even good, brown ale. Palate was creamy and smooth, flavors were extremely balanced. Solid, but not world-changing. Bottle from the Rare Beer Club.

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2012 Draft. Malty and roasty aromas, some caramel. Pours dark brown, quite clear, with nice tan head, quite persistent. Light body and low cabonation. Tastes malty, some roast flavors and toffe. Maybe some fruit. Finish is short and sweet. Found it a bit watered down.

Pours unclear mahogany dark brown with a decent off white head. The flavor starts out with sweet and nutty maltiness, almost like iced tea, and then ends with some bitterness. The body is medium.

750 ml bottle poured a hazy reddish bropwn with a lasdting tan head. Aromas of earthiness, toasted malt and cocoa. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of cocoa, toasted malt and earthiness with a crisp dry lingering earthy finish.

Didn’t really impress me. Muddy brown. Starts off semi-sweet with muddied flavors. Finishes slightly bitter--more from roast/burnt malt flavors than hops.

Draft. Brown beer with a dark cream head. Malt aroma. Malt and light cocoa flavor with light toffee and backing hops. Medium bodied. Malt and light cocoa lingers with light toffee and backing hops.

26/05/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Classica brown ale, schiuma leggera appena persistente color bianco sporca. Al naso luppolatura generosa con evidenti note agrumate, aroma di malto ben percettibile, un tocco fruttato ed erbaceo. In bocca è decisamente sbilanciata e un po’ troppo monocorde e oltretutto risulta un po’ "vuota" e sporca sul finale. Alla lunga stanca parecchio. Buona carbonazione, forse manca un po’ di corpo. Forse in cattive condizioni, mi piacerebbe riprovarla.
