3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Kind of like Tooheys Old, but not as sweet and a little more roasty. Nice enough dark ale
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Uncomplicated brown ale with hints of coffee and bitter flavours. Barely any carbonation.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.
