PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 16, 2006
Whole Foods, Baton Rouge, La. 750 ml bottle. Pours a dark copper with a pillowy, soft, khaki colored head with sticky lacing. Sweet candy-like aroma with hints of Christmas spices and candied apples. Flavor is sweet as well, some caramel, cotton candy, root beer and finishes with a bit of baked brown bread. Alcohol is noticed - feels a bit higher than 8.5%. Mouthfeel, not as thick as expected. All around decent. but expected just a bit more.

Miksu (3887) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - JAN 15, 2009
0.75 l bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy reddish brown color. Sweet bready, malty and toffeish aroma with licorice. Thick sweet flavor with bread, toffee, caramel, pepper, coriander, licorice and chocolate.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 29, 2003
(750 ml Bottle) Brown, chocolate crud stuck to the inside of the cap, is it still good? We'll soon find out... Pours a medium, white and a cloudy brown-copper body. Head dissipates to a thin lacing. Earthy aroma with hints of alcohol and spice. Strong malt and caramel flavour with a dry and fizzy-bitter finish. Good but I'd prefer having another La Chouffe to this.

marcus (3763) - Sacramento, California, USA - JAN 9, 2006
This reddish brown ale poured with a lacy tan head, eliciting a malty aroma. The flavor is spicy toasted malt with a slightly smoky finish and a heavily carbonated mouthfeel. The taste mellows as the beer warms, resulting in a very satisfying drink.

Suttree (3759) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 15, 2003
UPDATED: MAR 31, 2004 Served too cold, but thats my own damn fault - Cloudy brown, with a thick, sand colored head. Freshly mowed grass and brown sugar on the nose. Malty sweet at start, and then some peppary hops. Long, dry finish.

rickgordon (3758) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - NOV 30, 2003
Bottled. Red/Brown colour with a fizzy remaining head. Ozon-like juniper aroma. Flavour of tit-bits with a pronounced malty sweetness.

caesar (3722) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - JUN 24, 2002
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2011 Perfect dark-brown color. Mild malty taste. Bit chocolate, raisins. Brewn for the darker days of the year, but delicious throughout all of the year!

Dark brown appearance with a slightly frothy head. Fresh aroma with a malted roasted flavour. Palatable and very good.
