BEERGUY007 (206), Scotia, New York, USA Feb 14, 2008 12 ounce bottle from oliver’s . Pours black. little head, tan disappears leaves a little brussels lace. Great smokey tastes, nice malty taste. I taste a little carmel. I love this one. Probably ner the finest beer I have ever had, I am lucky to be so close to Browns. Vac (2287), San Diego, California, USA Mar 18, 2003 Very dark brown body topped by a medium thick head with good lace left on the glass. Slightly roasty malt aroma with a subtle sweetness. Slighlty sweet and roasty malt flavor with a chocolate/coffee background and finish. Full bodied and smooth. Pwn3d (633), NYC, New York, USA Jan 16, 2008 Updated: Apr 27, 2008Part of 24pack purchased from the Brewpub location in Troy. I drank this with the nephew of the owner. Pour is near black. A ton of flavor is present... most notably black coffee and tobacco. Not lacking much of anything..This was excellent. My favorite offering from Brown’s Slepkov (16), Ithaca, Alabama, USA Mar 2, 2008 Pours a velvety liquid as black as espresso; a void from which nothing good could come. Or could it? A mocha head is almost guinness-like, and admirably persistent. The nose is rich if a little sour. Biscuits and coffee with a little off-soured-yeast. In the mouth a welcome tartness yields to ample, but not sweet maltiness, with strong rootbeer overtones. A well balanced mineral finish. Impressively crisp. Browns came back with Mr. Black! RCL (1140), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Sep 5, 2006 A bit thin for an oaty, but this is some damn tasty beer. With some more body and a bit deeper flavor I could get behind the "world’s best " hype.
