Pours a dark, dark, amber with a medium tan head. Nutty, nutty smell with a little chocolate. Not the strongest aroma. Nice lively but not too lively palate feel. Nice finish. Very well done.

bottle. dark amber color. big head. malty aroma. sweet malts. caramelly and a bit dry hops. a very good brown ale.

12 oz. bottle from Morgan’s. Drank on 7/19/06. Very clear, nice deep brown w/red hues when held to the light. Thick, creamy 2" tan head. Drops very slowly. Big, thick layer of foam lasts. Big lacing. Aroma - not very strong. Malty, a little smokey maybe. Flavor - Nice and balanced, slightly towards malty all the way from the start to the swallow. Underlying sweet, chocolatey maltiness on the tongue. This really comes out in the finish. Palate - medium, nice and smooth. Mellow carb. Easily drinkable. Overall - Great brown ale. I’m not a huge fan of this style, but this is definitely one of the best I’ve had. Smooth, tasty, and not overly nutty. Nice sweet finish.

This is a nice looking beer that is only a little lighter in color than a porter. It has a nice tan head that grew to just under an inch. Aroma is malty but not overlly sweet. Chocolate flavors are present and there is a roastiness. Brown sugar is advertised but I don’t taste it. Perhaps some coffee, but no brown sugar. There is also just a hint of tartness that forms in the middle of the tongue.

Bottle@Københavnske Øldage. Quite sweet and flat. Some sweet nuttyness and perhaps a touch of berry fruit aswell, actually no not really. This is fairly straight forward.

Bottle. Dark brown body with a good sized beige head. Chocolate malt, and nutty not quite roast in the aroma. Similar flavour, with more nutty chocolate up front, a sweet malty middle with light roast and a hint of coffee bitterness in the finish. Average palate. An extremely good example of the style.

Clear chestnut pour supporting a medium light brown head with fair retention. Aroma of roasted malt, hazelnuts, molasses and vanilla. PLeasantly smooth chocolate, toffee, nutty and roasted malt flavor with a nifty hoppy kick. The mouthfeel is just a bit watery but the finish is sweet, short and crisp. This beer reminds me of their New World Porter - especially when the hoppy kick comes in. A very nice brown ale.

A dark brown pour with a decent off white head and a nice lacing from start ot finish. A nice sweet aroma of roasted malt. A nice flavor of sweet caramelly malt that says choconutty. A surprising finishing bitter that lasts a good while. A reasonalbly smooth palate that is just a tad watery but strong for this style beer. As this beer warms the carbonation changes and is a bit foamy. A good beer I enjoyed.
