gnoff (3560), Göteborg, Sweden Nov 2, 2009 12 fl oz bottle at Rotary, Göteborg. On October 29, 2009 Clear dark brown color, big fluffy off-white lasting head. Fruity, hoppy, grainy, malty, sweet, some alcohol scent. Also a bit acidic and some alcohol notes. Malty, caramel, grainy, alcohol taste. A bit harsh. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Fruity aftertaste. gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA Nov 1, 2009 Pours mahogany with a foamy beige head that lingers. Faint aroma of brown sugar with some earthiness and caramel. Tastes of caramel, sugars, coffee. Bit thin. BroSpud (586), , Massachusetts, USA Oct 31, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Has a drinkable malty sweet taste but nothing spectacular. An average brown ale. Damico (162), Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 26, 2009 Faintly sweet, malty brown ale aroma in this brew. The appearance is clear brown with a small head. This is one of the most delicious brown ales ever, so clean and crisp on the palate, but rich with flavor at the same time. The subtle flavor of the chocolate malts come through, but not sweet, just pure. tgncc (798), Bellmore, New York, USA Oct 24, 2009 Wierd roasty, almost ashen smell. thin, reddish brown appearance, tan head. Roasted nuts, some chocolate, brown sugar. Flavor is roasted nuts, again slightly burnt, chocolate malts. Finish is a little weak, a light hop bittering. Middle of the road mouthfeel. Sessionable, not bad, not remarkable. potbeercollege (255), Boulder, Colorado, USA Oct 23, 2009 Bottled. Clear dark brown, medium tan head with nice lacing. Aroma of caramel, roasted nuttiness, light coffee. Taste is fairly sweet, ending in mild bitterness. Notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee. Very smooth, one of my favorite brown ales to casually drink. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA Oct 22, 2009 Draft @ Monster B’s. Solid, but nothing spectacular. Sweet with coffee cake notes. Thin, medium palate. NayTron (33), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Oct 18, 2009 Pours a dark amber. Has a malty sweet flavor that finishes thin. Not bad, average.
