UPDATED: MAR 12, 2012 bottle. brown with a very creamy beige head that looks almost like a nitro head. toasted malt nose that is quite hoppy. palate is medium, silky smooth and creamy. the flavor has a awesome mix of toasted marshmallow, nuts and burnt caramel. ends with a floral hop note, but doesn’t get in the way of the toasty malt showcase. some of the best things about beer all in one. one spectacular brown ale. holy cow!

Fad: Mudret rødlig brun uklar øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af brown ale, ja det er nok bedst at beskrive det sådan. Smagen er sødlig chokolade men med en sur note der ofte optræder i brown ales. Ikke frisk humlet som f.eks. Jackie brown. Lidt skuffende.

Pours a very cloudy, deep brown with a 1 finger head. Aromas of toffee, walnuts, maybe a whisp of chocolate. Taste is nutty, some light roast. Very creamy and slick mouthfeel. This may be the slickest beer I’ve ever come across. But where it fails to deliver is in the overall taste, it’s just too one dimensional and kind of boring. One redeeming quality is the dry finish. Not a world class beer, but if I got it again as a trade extra I would drink it again. Can’t remember who sent me this one, either smith4498 or my brother, but whoever it was, thanks.

Pours a nice Carmel brown with a small short lived lacy head. Malty overtones throughout. Nice balance in the mouth of carbonation without being distracting. Sweet malty Carmel chocolate coffee love. Yup, its all kinda there, although some more traditional brown ale drinkers may not enjoy it as much (sweet compared to bitter). Definitely would order this again.

Pours a dark brown on tap with nice tan head and good lacing. Aroma is malty, with roasted oat notes and a slight alcoholic linger. Taste is coffee and oats with a slight dark chocolate note in the end. Clean, smooth mouth with a well balanced flavor. One of the best american browns.

Pours clear dark brown with a low tan head. Aroma is caramel and malts. Flavor is full malts and caramel. Pretty good.

Pours a dark brown color with a one finger head that lasts. Aroma of sweet malts, chocolate and coffee. Taste follows the nose. Easy drinking but it has a different mouthfeel, it almost leaves a film in my mouth. It’s still really tasty, I really like this brew!

35,5cl bottle. Poured dark brown, with a thin, beige head. Aroma has caramel, toasted malt and bread. Flavor very similar to the aroma. Light bodied. Smooth mouthfeel.

Ok I guess...I thought the aroma was unremarkable, the appearance average, the taste was present, uninteresting, and a bit flat,. Unfortunately, not a great example of the style in my opinion. Look elsewhere, even if you’re pairing it with a cigar. I’d rather drink Newcastle.

On tap at Beer Authority NYC. Perfectly balanced nut brown ale. Malts are caramel and nuts.

Bottle at Patricks. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is fruit, burnt , roasted malt, coffee. Flavour is fruit, roasted, burnt, malt, hop, coffee, chocolate. Easy drinkable nice beer.
