Very smooth but a little too strong and bitter than I hoped. Was served on tap, curiuous how it is in bottles.

Had this on firkin over the weekend. A pretty flavorful brown and definitely above average.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark, dark brown, almost purple with some ruby highlights and a thin cappuccino foam-colored head. Tea-herbal earthy hop presence under some deep caramel, raisin, and plum malt backbone. Taste is pretty sweet, but not too much as it’s balanced by a fairly sizable bitterness and slight tart bite. Palate fuller but not heavy, pretty soft carbonation, and a rounded lasting finish. This one becomes more rewarding as it warms. Unlike any "brown ale" I’ve had before. Really damn good.

Shared by turdferguson. Thanks Sam. Pours a soft burnt copper brown with two fingers of sandy tan head. Very interesting nose, tons of character. Very bready and biscuity with some cacao and roast barley husk. Slightly coffee-ish. Flavor is what you’d expect, lots of toasted grain with a slightly cereal quality and biscuit/fresh baked bread. Very light hop character, medium body with a dry finish.

Bottle from the local. Looks, smells, and tastes like your common american brown ale. Dark garnet with a small off-white head. Toasty and nutty nose, some light brown sugar sweetness, roast. Flavor is more of the same. Very drinkable without any noticeable flaws. Would drink again.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
355ml bottle. Darkest brown with average frothy off-white to beige head. Grassy aroma, coffee surrogate, unroasted cacao or coffee beans. Taste has a subtile sweetness that could be milk chocolate, but somewhat all tasty notes seem to stuck in inception, the result is a characterless strawy, almost soapy brew on a undefined and undetermined malt basis. A Dark Horse failure I’d never have expected.
