4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours an opaque dark brown with a huge initial tan head that slowly settles into a fair ring but leaves some good lace. Aroma is citrus, roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, and toffee. Flavour is coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malts, medium bitterness from the hops but I think also helped out from the dark malts, citrus, toffee, and finishes dry. Yet another good beer from evil twin.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. It pours a reddish dark brown body under a dense, finger-thick dark beige head. Lightly roasted malts, caramel, chocolate and some hoppy notes in the aroma. The flavor is rather strong for a brown ale, but pleasant. Quite coffee-ish in the flavor, roasted malts, chocolate and a nice bitterness and hoppy flavor. Full body, semi-dry and pleasantly carbonated. Lasting finish, dry and rather coffee-ish. Certainly a nice brown ale, wouldn’t mind drinking more of this. 130420

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, shared with Ian. Medium nut brown colour with a medium tan head that retains as a 3mm topping. Aroma is pleasant coffe, like a medium roast, with underlying sweet dark malts. The coffee sits center-stage, and really this beer depends on the quality of the coffee as much as anything else. Thankfully its very nice, slightly floral even. The supporting malts are tasty and in generous supply, and there is an appealing bready yeasty note that I really liked. Light acidity lends almost a tart quality to the finish (not quite tart). Great brew!

September 2011. Bottle. pours dark amber with a white head. While I can detect the citrus and the spice, the coffee beans don’t blend in. Still a very nice ale.
