It is dark brown with a nice head and a lot of malt in both aroma and flavour. In the latter I also find notes of fruit, caramel and a little hint of licorice. The finish is good and log with a nice balance between malt and hops, and in the end the hoppy bitterness takes over, more and more.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is not typical. It’s smooth roasted caramel with grassy or floral hop. Very dark garnet color with a smeary white film for head. Full bodied with mild and creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel with floral sort of hop. It’s a bit darkly bready, but not overly sweet. Sort of an overachieving Newcastle Brown. Character it’s got. The finish is much as the beginning. This ale is arguably in a class by itself.

Bottled @ DBF2004: Dark red/brown coloured. Chocolate brown head. Malts and fruit accents in the aroma. Flavour has notes of cocoa, malts, some hops and a slight fruitcharacter. Ends up light bitter.
