saxo (3516), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Nice tan head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are rich with nuts, caramel, some roast malt and notes of fruits. Pwn3d (1040), Manhattan, New York, USA Oct 31, 2009 On tap @ playwrights, 8th ave location, on Halloween. Dawns a delightful chestnut brown with fluffy beige head. Taste is sour citrus combined with sweet malts, earthy tones, and roasted hazelnut. Really, really good. Call me crazy but it’s near amazing for the style... just wish I saw more hops like DFH IBA jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 23, 2009 (bottle from j12601). Dark brown color. Medium tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Watered down malt flavor. Avg duration. Smooth finish, with light dryness at the end. Thin texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Oct 22, 2009 Clear copper/brown color with a tan head. sweet caramelized brown sugar aromas. Medium body. Decent malty sweet brown sugar/molasses flavor with custard. Sweet Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Oct 22, 2009 From dmac via trade. Poured cola-brown with a short, off-white head and spots of lacing. The aroma was roasted malts, light caramel and thin chocolate. The flavor was roasted malts and caramel and trended towards sour on the finish. Thin body. A wimpy finish for an otherwise serviceable beer. corby112 (679), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 21, 2009
Pours a dark chestnut brown color with slight mahogany edges when held to a light source and a thin half finger tan head that quickly fades into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing.
Toasted nutty malt aroma with subtle dark fruit notes and slight earthy hops.
Slightly watered down body with hints of toasted malt, hazelnut, chocolate maltiness, a slightly roasted toasty presence with subtle hops and a slightly dry finish. Very well balanced and easy drinking session beer.
drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 20, 2009 Tried a sample at Brewfest Tallahassee. A hint of roasted coffee but mainly sweet caramel and toffee. AskForJenny (627), Ontario, New York, USA Oct 19, 2009 12oz - Nose is somewhere between nuts and sawdust. Good color, not much head or carbonation. A little on the sweet side, with some roasted notes. A good representative of the style.
