Thanks to Wohlfs via DougShoemaker, appreciated either way. Transparent brown in color. Nutty aroma with some roasted malt. Nutty flavor from front to back. Nice winter beer.

Bouteille, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur brune et transparente. Nez malté de caramel toffee légèrement terreux et rôti, de noix et avec des notes de chocolat au lait, de houblon floral et boisées. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture moyennement crémeuse et légèrement huileuse. Goût de noix (qui dure toute la gorgée) avec des notes de chocolat au lait et boisées (fût de chêne) ainsi que des traces de fumée lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee moyennement rôti et très légèrement terreux puis progressivement vient se rajouter un léger goût de chocolat noir et moyennement amer de houblon herbeux et floral avec un goût plus asséchant de noix et des traces de café. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti, de houblon herbeux et de chocolat (notes de café) avec un goût asséchant de noix.

Bottle (341ml). Poured clear mahogany with an average fizzy-foamy offi-white head. Sweet nutty aroma of roast malt, chocolate and grain. Taste is a bit chalky, almost like a malted milkshake, some very mild hops to go with the roast malt and grain - mouthfeel is lightly creamy, a little thin, not very carbonated at all. This one has a medium-long mildly bitter finish to overlay the sweetish "malteser" taste. Farily nice, I enjoyed it.

Six pack from LCBO, pours amber/brown, tan head. Nice roasted malty aroma. Flavour is nutty with roasted malt and a hit a chocolate although it tasted a little burnt at times but I quite liked it. Overall a good beer.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Dak brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and nuts. Malty taste with coffee, chocolate and a balanced bitterness in the finish. Balanced sweetness. Nice brown ale.

12 oz. bottle - pours clear and light brown; very slight white head; candy malts and sweet caramel aromas; thin body and you can taste the carbonation; a little bland on the flavors, but some sweetness comes out; dry finish; thanks tim!!

Dark brown with red tinting. Little to no head. Smells like diacetyl, chestnuts, and plant roots as well as caramel malts. Quaffable mouthfeel. Great roasted malt flavors. Thin finish but in a quaffable way. Light chocolate. Solid nut brown.

Bottle from matt! Nice brown color, good head. Smell of sweet caramel. Taste is pretty good... Roasted nut, brown sugar, mild amount of hops. Well balanced. Thin texture, easy to drink. Over all a decent brew. Thanks matt!
