Je suis assez étonné par la laideur de ce liquide. Mon verre est un marécage. La petite tête qui semble vouloir résister ne me plaît pas particulièrement. Le nez ne m’étonne pas mais reste capable d’apporter une satisfaction. Le profil malté est intéressant mais aucunement novateur. Il y a des noix, des traces de café et des touches chocolatées. Le profil houblonné me semble très peu poussé mais tout de même approprié : je peux aisément affirmer que ces légers parfums perçus de terre humide et de feuilles se fusionnent habilement avec les céréales brunes. Au goût, rien de renversant dans ces saveurs qui restent néanmoins bien honnêtes : la faible représentation houblonnée suffit à assécher le caramel, les noisettes et le sucre foncé. En bouche, le liquide montre un corps plutôt faible : les bulles qui sont actives soulignent cette minceur. La texture n’est cependant jamais aqueuse. La finale me semble être une réussite : ses notes terreuses et son amertume de grains grillés participent à l’assèchement de ma langue. Tout compte fait, une ale brune plutôt facile à boire qui ne marquera pas mon parcours de dégustation.

LookMomNoHands (1056) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2013
355 ml. bottle. Hazy, red-brown colour with a golden tint. Huge, fluffy off-white head. Sweet aroma with caramel, nuts, toasted malts, yeast and fruity notes. Light sweet taste. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Very pleasent palate. Finishes dry with hints of bread, coffee and brown sugar. Nice brown ale that left an impressively large chunk of foam at the bottom of my glass.

rondphoto (983) - Lakeside Park, Kentucky, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Hazy dark ruby amber with a head that quickly disappears, and tiny dots of lace that are also missing before the finish. Taste is malt with raisins and dark dried fruit, mixed with hazelnut. Taste grows through the palate, moving to a finish that ends with a whimper rather than lingering in a satisfying way. I expected better.

kevinsenn (552) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - APR 27, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of fig, toffee, and apple. Taste has plenty of toffee, some bready malts and apple, with a dry hoppy finish. Decent but my least favourite from Cigar City so far.

blankboy (5152) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 25, 2013
Can [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry, JoeMcPhee, jercraigs & mabel -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a deep amber-brown with an average size diminishing frothy beige head. Mild aroma of toasted caramel malt and nuts. Flavour also of caramel malt and nuts along with toffee and an earthy finish. Average bodied. Meh, I’m not a fan of the style but this is just O.K.
