Nice creamy head with deep brown color. Nuts and bits of malt in the nose. Taste has a nice chocolate with malts, some nutttiness, and a bit of coffee. Nice flavor across the palate with good finish of some sweetness. Great brown!

bottle. pours dark brown sandy head. big nut and toffee aroma. taste is medium body lots of roasted malt and creamy.

A nice brown smell, and good color. Taste is sharp but mild, right on point. Palate a little weak. A good but not amazing brown ale.

Bottle. Caramel and some nutty malt. Really nothing special here. Just a very average beer. Very below average from DH.

Aroma of whoppers, light coffee roast and waffle cone. Appearance is dark cola brown with sticky bone head. Flavor has pervasive roast, coffee, light underlying chocolate and a bitter coffee finish. Palate is medium, creamy and soft. A tasty brown.

On tap at The Grill Next Door. Dark brown pour into a pint glass. Dark brown with thin brown head. Light coffee notes. Toasty malt and coffee flavor with a bit of sweetness. True to style, a decent brown. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a very dark brown with a quick diminishing head. Scents of sweet cocoa with some coffee hints. Very robust malts that again have the taste of cocoa and coffee. Very flavorful as it basically a step below the bold taste of a stout. If you’re into dark and heavy beers, this is a must try!

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark brown. Aroma is moderately to heavily malty (caramel, toasted bread/nuts), lightly to moderately hoppy (herbs, flowers), with notes of brown sugar, date, hazelnut extract, vanilla. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Strikingly rich nose, full of malt goodness...a bit sugar-centric but there’s a fair amount of depth that keeps me coming back over and over. Alas, the suggestion that it will be quite sweet holds true...there’s enough bitterness at the end to keep it from being undrinkable, but it was admittedly hard to drink very much. Kinda thick and syrupy as well. Just as with last night’s BRU Obitus, the only major thing standing between this and 4+ territory is a better drinking experience...i.e., better balance/attenuation.

Bottle. Deep brown with a medium tan head. Strong malty aroma, a little sweet. Medium body,smooth, rich ... Excellent brown. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
