Bottle. Aroma is sweet malts, dark chocolate and coffee. Notes of cedar, aged tobacco leaf and some american hops stand out. The body is much lighter than expected. Flavor is a little sweet. Impressive, but not mot imkpressive.

tdoyledesign (64) - Michigan, USA - JUN 2, 2013
Pours a very nice deep brown with a medium cream head. Not much in the way of aroma. Tasted is oatmeal and hint of smoke. I can see why this would go great with a cigar. Crisp for a brown ale with a finish that lingers.

NeoHippie2 (474) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - JUN 1, 2013
Nice brown pour. Aromas of roasted malts abound. Flavor is similar with lots of the roasted malt character. Solid brown ale, albeit a bit standard issue there’s nothing wrong with doing a classic well.

Phatdog1 (126) - Brentwood, New Hampshire, USA - MAY 28, 2013
12 oz. can compliments of jbruner. Flat brown pour with a small fizzy, light brown head, which disappeared immediately. Brown body which allows a lot of light through. Nose of brown bread, toasted malt and some caramel. Sweet initial flavor, with more caramel present. Short finish with a bit of molasses lingering. Nothing special, but very drinkable.

Canette 12oz, courtoisie de Alexandre O. De couleur brune foncée et voilée. Nez de caramel toffee sucré, léger de chocolat, de noix grillées et de houblon herbeux avec des notes de tabac et quelques traces de café. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux faibles notes aqueuses. Goût de noix légèrement grillées avec des traces de chocolat au lait (faibles traces lactiques) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel toffee légèrement rôti avec des notes de tabac terreux puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec des notes de café. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes terreuses avec un moyen goût de noix grillées, un léger goût de malt rôti ainsi qu’avec des traces de café.
