2.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20On tap at Kalamazoo beer exchange. Served in a snifter, black with purple/red hue. Very bubbly, cream colored cola-like head. Fairly void of scent. Average mouth feel, medium carbonation. Lactose sour flavor but really really faint and creamy. Not watery but a very very light flavor. A resemblance of a brown ale is there, roasted carmel but definite dairy taste blended in. Finish is warm feeling but not much flavor. Good beer but nothing outstanding.

Draft at Craft. Pours turbid deep brown with tan head. Nose is caramel malt, brown sugar, hops, cacao, mild nuts. Tastes of earthy brown sugar, caramel malt, mild cacao, and ample hops. Well balanced and a top nothc example of the style that may as well be called the Rodney Dangerfield of beer styles.

Draft at Bigelos. A black beer with beige foam. This was interesting. It was kind of soggy funky in front. Chocolate, roast, and citrus hops mixed with the soggy notes. This is definitely not an American brown. I liked it.

Pours a clear brown in to a no nic glass with nice head and decent lacing. Smells like a typical brown ale but had taste of a porter with roasted flavor. Medium carbonation with full mouthfeel. Fairly easy to drink and not too bad.

On draught
Pours a very pretty dark reddish brown color with a mall tight head and good lacing on the glass.
The aroma is nutty and lightly roasty with some mild chocolate. It’s a pretty mild aroma all together.
The flavor is nutty with some mild coffee.... what I mean by that I suppose is like good coffee grounds, that you attempted to do a second press on in a French press. Like it’s not a rich coffee flavor, but it’s nice too.... kinda weird... whatever. There is some light vanilla, and the beer is not particularly sweet, but not especially dry either.

It poured a brown color with a small off-white head. The aroma was of chocolate, caramel and some vanilla. The taste was of caramel malt, chocolate, light roastiness, some florals and brown sugar. Very tasty.
