22oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Dark brown, tan creamy head. Warm nutty chocolate rice krispie notes ride undercurrents of dark berry. Nutty sweet chocolate and roasty earth notes play out from start to finish. Light bodied, soft carbonation, chocolate fruity finish. Interesting brew which I would gladly drink again...

Jul 12, 2008 Brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasty, caramel, hazelnut, toffee. Taste is a toffee, caramel, nuttiness, with light chocolate. Nice depth for a brown ale.

Jun 20, 2008 A very odd aroma that is stangly familiar but i just cant put my finger on what it is. Aight brown pur with an off white head and lace. A very bland flat flavor that just lacks any pizazzaz. No off flavors just nothing at all special about this beer. A tad thin and watery. A drinkable beer but nothing special at all.

Jun 19, 2008 Thanks to Brewdad for a crack at this. Poured a dark brown (duh). Nice malty sweet nose. Flavor is nutty, little bit of chocolate and some spice (pandan?). Fairly straight forward, but definitely one of the better brown ales I have had.

Jun 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clearish, dark brown body with a small, wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Mild aroma of dark malts, chocolate, and discarded nut shells.
Taste: Dark malts rounded out by a sweet nutty character. A few well-placed drops of chocolate. Vague dark fruitiness. Lightly spicy, earthy bitterness. Then, it’s back to the nuts, baby! Sweetish finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I’ve been waiting for so many long years for a pandan beer the hit the market, and Laughing Buddha really delivered!
