Bottle. Body-very dark brown with a touch of very thick ring of bubbles. Fresh tobacco, leather, smells like a Brown Ale. Wow. Brown Ale. American Amber and Brown Ales-two styles that should be done away with for the common good of man. Taste-better than the nose, cinnamon, mace, chewing tobacco, chestnuts, dry barn flavor, a very slight hint of baker’s chocolate, lemon/lime. Good for a Brown Ale, but that isn’t exactly a compliment.

Draft pours medium brown with a white head. Great brown bread and slight chocolate aroma. Medium body with some roast and chocolate again. Quite smooth. Not bitterness at all.

Bottle from Vanessa. Oaky brown body with thin tan head. Hoppy nose. Crisp mouthfeel. Also fruits in the flavour. Chocolate totally unidentifiable but some warming coffee notes in the finish. Long-lasting and siky finish.

Beautiful mahogany color, slight head settles to a bit of lacing. Creamy and pretty substantial mouthfeel. Nice hoppiness, crisp, and very delicious.

Not bad at all! Watered down a little, but the hint of coffee makes up for it.

Imperial pint pour on tap at Binnys South Loop (Orland Park, IL). Pours a beautiful dark mahogany around the edges with deep brownish black bodu and decent offwhite head that laces and settles to a film. Aromas are light, displaying darker malts, brown sugar, and nut to an extent with light tobacco and toast. Initial is has a good full body, pushing some nice chocolate notes, light brown sugar, tobacco and earth, nut, subtle hoppy bitterness in body and finish. Flavor is a little dull for me, quite sessionable and enjoyable, without any harshness and decent flavor for a beer of its type.

Bottle 0,375l at Landströms Kök & Bar Kiruna 27 Mar 09. Dark brown colored. A large tanned creamy head that lasted. Very good looking! Aroma of caramel and hops. A bit disapponting flavor: Some fruit and malt. No distict aftertaste.

Nice nose of dark malt and slight banana. Pours very deep brown. Flavour is pleasant enough but has some dirty socks coming through that takes away from it. Mouthfeel a little thin. Finish is dry and moreish.
