Smell is of roasts, dark malt, and sweet brown sugar. The flavor is mellow and nutty, tasting of almond/walnut. My opinion: this beer is easy to drink, smooth, and fairly distinctive from other browns because of its sweet nuttyness. Finish was a bit sharp and dry for such a mellow-flavored beer. I would have also preferred a more bold flavor. KimJohansen (7006), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Drank this at the beginning of the defining round of Premiership football. Come on, you reds!
Pours deep, mahogany red-brown with a fine, small, creamy off-white head. Nice duration. Impressive aroma with hazel nuts, light pine hops, caramel and chocolate. Light and fresh mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Flavour is sweet with lots of nuttiness and caramel. A deep, milk chocolate finish. Wonderful brown ale! Grovlam (3809), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2008 Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average beige and creamy head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Light cloudy brown colour. Aroma of caramel, roasted malt, nutty, chocolate, fruit, vanilla. Excellent and well-balanced Brown Ale. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour with mild bitterness. Lingering chocolate and nutty finish. Now that is a Brown Ale. shackinetics (132), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2008 A dark ruby brown with thin cream colored head. Low on aroma - sweet malts present. Quite intensely chocolate flavored - sweet malts & caramel, and a touch of sharp citrus. Exceptionally smooth and creamy mouth feel. Super drinkable. Happy I grabbed a quality brew for my 100th rating. llcooldave (319), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2008 Nice looking leathery brown in color. Beautiful foamy head. Very nice sweet bready aroma. Very clean tasting with a chocolaty aftertaste. Smooth... on the palate. A nice beer overall. WesKBob (321), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 1, 2008 Pours a nice dark brown color with a thin tan head. Good lacing. Weak aroma with light hings of bread and a toasted, nutty smell. The initial flavor is weak, with just a hint of caramel sweetness. However, the flavor intensifies as the beer fills your mouth to include a surprisingly sweet (for a brown ale), sugary flavor. Mouthfeel was a dissapointment--very thin and watery. You can do better.
