3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark brown color, very cloudy. Blackcurrant and chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Thin. Short aftertaste. Just a hint of tartness. Nice session ale.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nutty brown ale aroma. Maybe a hint of raisin and chocolate. Dark cloudy brown with small golden bits (it’s bottle conditioned). Chocolaty flavor, some malt, some hop. Tiny bubbles, but a bit thin. Finishes a bit dry, with a hint of sour, then the chocolate returns. Really pleasant, and not at all harsh like most American browns.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A Mes rate: bottle from Kris Wines.
Dark brown coloured with a thin beige head. Sweet malty aroma with a fair bit of caramel and some faint dusty hops. Tangy malt and fizzy almost alka seltzer flavour. Toffee and nutty in the finish. A little too thin and the flavour fall away a bit because of it. Drinkable but not something I would rave over.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
375 ml bottle. Dark brown beer with a thin white head. Light yeasty aroma and a bit of pale malt. Fruity yeast shows through along with some toasted malts. Light caramel. Tastes better than it smells.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Adark brown coloured beer with no head. The aroma has a little chocloate and a tiny amount of roastiness. The taste is quite dry and a bit of caramel comes through, but otherwise there’s not much going on. Disappointing really.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours with a fading off-white head over a deep brown body. Aroma of berries, chocolate and honey. Taste is jam, chocolate and dry. A bit flowery. Medium carbonation. Not memorable.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Typical nose of a brown ale: maple, vanilla, some cream. Fizzy and not a very deep flavor profile... fizzy toasted nuts and bread crust. Pancakes and milk. Not exciting at all.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Very dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are sweet earthy coffee with chocolate and some sulphur. Flavours are sweet cola with hints of lemon. Light roast character and not especially malty.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
10th December 2008. Cloudy brown beer. Low carbonation. Crisp palate. Very mildy sour malt. Okay but a bit watery.
