The aroma is coffee like, with yeast, and caramel. The appearance is brown with a medium head and huge particles. The flavor is like the aroma with the addition of some chocolate and lots of bread like malt. The palate is smooth. It’s a simple but nice beer!

pours the deepest amber with a thin tan head. not much aroma, some slight roasted malt. taste is fairly tame with some good malt flavour and a slightly sweet finish.

Pours a dark brown colour with a light brown head. Aroma is malty, with notes of caramel and nuts. Taste is also malty with some nuts and caramel leading to a light bitter finish. Not bad.

From a 375ml bottle on 19/2/2012. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a big head. Has a slight caramel malt aroma. The flavour is quite roasty, with some sweet caramel and toffee in the mix. Has a light body and medium carbonation. A solid, if unspectacular, brown ale.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Kind of like Tooheys Old, but not as sweet and a little more roasty. Nice enough dark ale

Uncomplicated brown ale with hints of coffee and bitter flavours. Barely any carbonation.

poured dark brown with beige head and light lacing, a good degree of maltiness, but could use a little more bitterness, but overall an easier drinking dark ale.

Bottle. Poured with a medium, frothy & fading but regenerative tan head atop a dark brown body. Slightly choccy on the nose with biscuity and roasted malt tones. Biscuity, bready malts. A bit hollow on the mid palate & slightly grainy. A delicate roasty bitterness to finish. Light to medium body, fair carbonation with a lingering sweet malt aftertaste.

Not a bad beer. Not a big fan of dark ales but this one goes down pretty easy. Nice mixture of flavours and a strong finish.

Bottle from Kris Wines. Pours black with reddish tinge. Aroma is nice. At first it’s fruity: orange, dried fruit. Then roasted flavours coming through and chocolate and coffee. Taste is disappointing though. It’s too carbonated, bit thin in the mouth and lacking body. More of a swartzbier than stout or porter. Not a lot of flavour coming through, although slightly too chilled. On the finish it’s roasted flavours, again lots of fizz. Bit watery.
