Raisin like fruitiness beneath strong grapefruit C-hop character. Clear, dark brown body is topped by a low, off white head that recedes to ring with some lacing. Toasty malts up front are nearly overwhelmed by strong hop bitterness. Some dark malt astringency is apparent in the finish and grapefruit/tangerine hop flavours linger with the dark malts in the aftertaste. Medium light body is somewhat watery despite moderate carbonation. Sampled on cask at Dix Xmas Extreme Beer festival 2007.

Enjoyed at the downtown brewpub. A brown ale that initially shows its hopped up C-hop and then a touch of BBQ sauce, and smoke in the finish. Smells like BBQ steak sauce, although a bit of Worchester. Never expected this, but I like it. Lots of creamy lace, a dark amber body. Interesting brown for sure.

Chestnut with a medium frothy head. Aroma was hoppy with brown bread malts and some raosty notes. Flavour starts rather hoppy but with a nice mix of roasted malts. Finishes slightly bitter.

Sparkling brown,lasting beige head.Good citrus nose. Starts citrusy,lightly cat pissy, long lasting medium bitter end. Great lacing Certainly not a brown

(Draught) Sampled at Dix X-mas Xtreme Caskival 2007. Pours a lasting white frothy head with a deep red body. Nis incredibly orange. Very artificial McDrink flavour. Good malt base - strong with a pine-orange hop. Really - a brown???
