Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a brown color with ruby highlights and a small khaki head that faded quickly. The aroma was light sour malts and fruity hops. The flavor was malty, vaguely sour and tangy with a light caramel element. The mouthfeel was a bit thin and watery.

its got the decent flavors of dark malts and caramel.no bitter flavors are in this beer due the fact that this a after dinner drink or an winter warmer. slightly nutty too

Malty aroma, roasted. Pours dark brown. Very smooth malt flavor, hops aren’t very noticable. Not bad, not great.

Bottle; Clear deep red colour, with a nice head. Aroma of öost of sweet malts, caramel,choclate,a d some butter and metalic nose in the end. Flavor is cramel,and some choclate nots, reminds me of a typical dark lager, not an Ale(is this Ale?) Thin body and a short caramelly finish.

500 ml bottle. Tanned bubbely one-finger head over a clear nut brown body. Not very aromatic for an ale; dry dark malts, cocoa powder and dusty hops. Hints of dried dark fruits and coffee. Taste is clean and dry, caramellish malts with some fruity tones. Surprisingly light-bodied with a rather watered down mouthfeel. Crisp, metallic finish. Goes well down, but lacks character.

It poured a very dark amber liquid with a small foam. It had a smell of caramell and malt. It tasted malty and caramell with some sweetness. It also had a slight alcoholic finish. It was a bit dry but easy to drink and a bit boring.

Bottle, 5.3%. Slightly spicy aroma, some sewer. Clear dark chestnut colour. Acidic flavour, but nicely malty. Roasted aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown. Aroma and taste is malty and has some wood. Also some hops in the aroma. The malt is litte to burnt and the finish is to dry and harsh.

Brown Color with Off White Head. Drying Mouthfeel from Heavy Furry Malt...Some Dark Fruit and Almond..

How many dirty stinking apes does it take to throw a wrench in a bitter ale? Notes of chocolate and coffee, also looks like strong coffee. Nuts and raisins as well. Sweet flavor with caramel aftertaste. Very smooth, full bodied, and easy drinking. Needs more hopping, really more like a mild ale.
