Oct 5, 2006 Bottle, at Copenhagen Beer Festival, May 2006. I find it hard to get too excited about Brown ales but I guess this is a pretty decent rendition of the style. Dark brown with a ruby tint. Nutty malt, as expected, on the nose and palate. Touches of chocolate, which was less expected. Some very subtle spicy hops in the flavour, but very restrained. Which is probably why I’m not a great fan of the style. Soft and easy drinking but a touch too laid back and well behaved for me.

Oct 1, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a light brown body with a large, mocha colored head that lasts and leaves decent lacing. Average carbonation levels. The aroma is of pine, earth and sweet malt. The taste is very nutty and earthy with a slight hop taste towards the very end finish. The mouthfeel is slightly more bubbly than most brown ales I’ve tried, but there is no astringent setbacks. A good brown ale and seems clean enough to be a good session beer.

Sep 11, 2006 Pours dark brown with a rich tan head. Farily toasty malt aroma with light caramel traces and some brown sugar. Medium body with a good amount of carbonation. Taste has lots of roasted malt with some char. Finish has a bark / wood type of taste with some spicy hops. An okay brown ale.

Sep 9, 2006 Nice roast beans aroma, coffee and baked beans, grills, shoes, summer’s dark side. Nice semitranslucent brown with short beige head. Roast flavors with vanilla and caramel. Very light hops finish. On the thin side in the palate, not quite enough there to support the roast flavor, but still, a fine beer.
