Decent brown ale. A little on the light side. Definitely doesn’t have the dark taste, as described. I was expecting a little more body but this is a pretty decent beer.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with moderate off-white head. Aroma is mild of coffee, cocoa, and dirt. Flavor has roasted malt, some coffee, and cocoa. Slightly chalky and light body. Decent brown that’s more coffee heavy (although "heavy" is relative here) than I’d expect.

Bottle. 12 oz. Grabbed a six pack of this from Anastasia. Pours a medium chestnut brown with a fuzzy off-white head. Aroma of toasted barley, chocolate, malty, doughy bread, and notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, Flavor is quite similar to a stout or porter, as advertised, but with an insanely smooth, almost juicy and ever-so-slightly bitter palate. Surprisingly clean, even-keeled finish. Just enough maltiness on the tongue to leave a pleasant, non-cloying sweetness. Great brown ale, especially for a nice fall session. Cheers.

12 oz bottle from Premier Wine and Spirits (Halifax). Pours a clear, slightly orangeish brown with small off-white head. Aroma is mild, slightly roasty caramel malt with a touch of chocolate. Flavour is slightly roasty and has caramel, chocolate and a little nuttiness. Medium body. Not bad.

pours reddish brown with a thin, creamy off-white head and some lacing. mellow, dark malt aroma with note of faint hops and chocolate. body is medium leaning towards thin. taste is somewhat bitter with notes of roasted malt, and hops at the end. simple but enjoyable. a light brown ale but not at all a bad one.

Bottle from Cavie. Brown pour with an off-white head. Aroma is a little chocolate, roasted, and a little nutty. Taste is very nutty, kinda roasted, almost sour, and kinda dirty.

Bottle. Clear dark orange color with a foamy offwhite head. Aroma is very faint. Not much smell. Tea leaves perhaps. Light chocolate. Flavor is roasted malts, chocolate with a big bitter finish.

aroma is soft baked brownies, lack of java or general roast. appearance is near translucent brown, ring head, tiny legs, little carb. flavor is watery caramel, good cola, chocolate from nose is largely washed out. mouthfeel is a bit thin for style but pleasantly sessionable.

Pour dark brown ruby edges beige head. Aroma chocolate, nuttiness, cereal grain, roast. Taste chocolate, nuttiness, roast, coffee, cereal, toasty. MF medium body good carb. Overall solid brwon but nothing to remember.

[Bottle] Pours a dark brown color with a thin beige head. Caramel malts and molasses in the nose. The taste is very dry and roasty. Charred malts and light brown sugar are the main notes here. Slight astringency. Average to slightly below average mouthfeel. A decent beer, but I enjoyed their Winterbraun much more.
