3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pour dark brown with a tanned head. Medium sized head doesnt’t last. Aroma of caramel, toasted nuts and perhaps some cocoa. Lightly sweet and bitterness with more nuttiness and roasted malts. Fairly enjoyable, but nothing memorable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
355ml bottle. A deep rich dark brown copper colour with a head of beige foam. When held to the light flecks of red shine through. The majority of the aroma is chocolate with a malt backbone which is pleasing. The flavour is very malty and chocolately with a rich velver mouthfeel. This brown ale carries much more flavour than most other brown ales I have tried. Much more body and more complex than your standard English brown ale. A well constructed and complex beer with flavour that hangs around in the mouth long after the beer is finished.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: slightly hazy medium amber brown, short light tan head, rings of lace. Aroma: caramel, toast, chocolate, some brown sugar, fruits and spice. Taste: caramel, a bit of toasted nuts, definite chocolate notes, a bit of peppery zing, and some restrained but assertive earthy hops. Finish: clean, smooth, and with perfectly balanced malt/hop notes. Notes: Perfectly balanced, and the flavors worked very well together. Extremely easy drinking, and the bit of spice at the end really made me crave another. So I had another.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle. Brown with a ruby hue, creamy light mocha head. Combination of sweet and roasted malts that leads to a nice chocolate nose, slight bitterness with some hops, caramel and vanilla balance things out. Very creamy and smooth, slightly sweet, becomes more bitter but not overly so, malty at the end. Decent but lacks depth.

Smell of toffee and caramel. Very roasty. Chocolate to be found much. Dark brown colour with light brown head. Hints of coffee and spices.
