HeBrew Messiah Bold

12oz bottle. Filtered with a deep dark brown hue with ruby hightlights. Off-white ring of head. Tootsie-Roll caramel toffee sweet malty nose. Deep cocoa aromas. Nice aroma. Pruny cola note. Medium to full bodied. Great malt flavor and a bitter dry finish. Initial malt note is bitter chocolate and coffee flavor and acidity. Smooth with a nutty character. Then the bitterness hits. Esters in the malt side. Rich and smooth. Bitterness ebbs as it warms. But it still hits the tongue with a punch of astringency.

Poured from 12 oz., dark brown with small tan head. Nose of raisins, sweet malt, with just a bar hint of hops. Taste is cola like, easy to drink, not too memorable.

12oz bottle. Brown with a lasting beige head. Vague toasted malt aroma with a light plastic-bag quality and some fruity, grainy sweetness. The flavor is just boring brown ale with sweet, light toffee, and some very lightly "nutty" roasty aspects. Low on the hops and bitterness. Med-light body with decent texture. Just a weird, almost cooked flavor overriding everything. Sadly, just another boring brown.

poured brown imagine that like a cola with no head at all to speak of aromas were of caranel malts and faint hops taste is very clean and smooth not vad nice he brew

Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of sweet malt, some spice. Tastes earthy and sweet with some nutty hints on the finish.

2nd April 2008 A smooth malty ale with no bitterness. Not dry or complex just smooth.

Dark brown slight to nonexistent head. Familiar cola wet bark aroma and nice malt backgrounds. Not nearly as nice as Dogfish Head Indian Brown - personal opinion - because of less hops.

Bottle from Utobeer market stall. Pours dark brown with a beige head, vanishes swiftlly. Good carbonation. Aromas of toffee, vanilla, dates, raisins. Flavours of roasted malts, caramel, black treacle. licorice, bitter chocolate. Finishes bitter, malty and slightly hoppy. Not too bad.
