ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Oct 22, 2006 Draught at brewpub. Rich, sweet, dark chocolate aroma with some hop. Black, opaque body with a light tan head that lasts, though without much lace. Nice, smooth brew with considerable flavor. Oatmeally. Extremely enjoyable. Kevin (1917), Colorado, USA Aug 9, 2006 i had to ask the good looking woman working the bar if she got the wrong beer. i thought it was a stout in front of me. this was almost black with a light brown head. even had a hint of coffee in the nose. caramel aroma with some light syrup or molasses too. great rich velvetysweetness, definite molasses flavor and light chocolate with a great caramel aspect. a nutty roast finish with a background hop presence. Ughsmash (3983), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jul 30, 2006 On tap at Piece. Poured damn near black with a creamy cap of tight caramel head. Coffee and darker chocolate maltage, dried coconut, and mild herbal hops provide a seductive aroma. Lots of dark chocolate at the core... with coffee flavor and bitterness at the backend... herbal hops, molasses and woodiness are also in there. Lower carbonation and powerfully smooth on the palate... bitterness was mild and hit all the right tastebuds. Bitter coffee on the finish. This was an excellent brown! heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 6, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. The body was very dark brown with roby highlights. There was a khaki head on top. The aroma had some chocolate and fresh oatmeal. There was also a bit of tobacco. The taste had light chocolate with a little maple and some iced tea. A very light body. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA May 25, 2006 (Draught) Pours a dark brown body with a moderate tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, and chocolate. Flavor of rich dark chocolate and roasted malt. YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA May 24, 2006 Fairly decent brown ale. Chestnut body, small tan head. Aroma was roasted nuts, caramel, mocha, and Whoppers. Medium body with smooth, sticky mouthfeel. Flavor was slightly sweet with a nice bitterness at the end. goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA May 8, 2006 Draft @ Flossmoor Station: Very dark brown color with a small beige head. Roasted malt aroma with a fair amount of chocolate and light ashey notes. The flavor matched with roasted malt and light ash. Also present were notes of chocolate and cola. Medium bodied. fidemaster (172), USA May 7, 2006 decent nut brown taste. I dont think its nearly as good as the goose island version.
