Tap at the Brewpub: Amber pour with a dense off white film of head. The aroma combines spicy American hops and a nutty crystal malt presence. Fluffy feel, with a lightly sweet nutty flavor. The deep malty grain flavors are balanced by a hearty amount of spicy/smooth hops making a resiny bitter finish. A nice American style Brown Ale.

(Draught) Sampled at the Brewpub. Pours a thin, white web of white foam abd flavour of heavy malt. Flavour is tart for a brown, high hop profile, but iteresting.

On tap at Benelux. The color is a dark brown, not much head. The taste is malty and also of nuts, with a sweet taste of caramel added on. It finishes with a bitter taste of hops and citrus fruits that is just a good way to end this one,

On tap @ Mondial 2008. Nose is a fine roasted malt, caramel, hazy deep copper. A rich malty flavour, nutty as well. Mredium bodied, well balanced, beautifully bitter and dry. Quite nice!

<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> An amiable alliance of roasted chestnuts and caramel leans onto an earthy hop finish to provide a suave, balanced pint of Brown Ale.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A veil of foam shields the burgundy brown.<br /> -The body is well built, lightly creamy, and conducive to high drinkability.<br /> -The hop bitterness is also resinous at times.<br /> -A undefined fruitiness seeps from the grain bill and chosen yeast.<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>
