Jun 21, 2008 Bottle. Large tan head with a good amount of lacing, hazy, and a brown hue. The aroma was malt, toasty, chocolate, citrus hops, and grapefruit. Ditto for the flavor. Medium bodied. Quaffable, easy to drink, lingering hoppy aftertaste, worthy of a try, and I would enjoy drinking this beer again if it comes my way again. Nicely done!

Jun 20, 2008 From bottle : Pours a hazy, very brown color, with a big ole’ 2 and a half fingers of off white head. Lots of nuts in the aroma and malt, with some hops hidding in the background. The taste i must say is a bit of a let down. It is very watery, and im struggling to find any real flavor. There are traces of nuts and malt, but overall pretty watered down. Also leaves a stale aftertaste in your mouth, that im not enjoying. Thin watery bottle and a sticky feel going down. Not that great.

Jun 20, 2008 Poured from a 500ml bottle and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a medium-dark brown with a thick head of creamy tan foam that would not fade. Excellent lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of coffee, chocolate, and nuts, along with a touch of citrus in the background. The flavor consisted of bitter roasted notes, cold coffee, pine, and grapefruit/citrus bitterness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. A good beer, but just a bit too bitter for my taste in a brown ale.

Jun 18, 2008 500 mL bottle. Pours a nice dark brown with a good-sized light tan head that quickly recedes. Aroma is a sweet, nutty, maltiness with a hint of resiny hops. The front end of the taste is a surprising amount of hops bitterness that rounds out into a nice roasted finish. There’s a burnt flavor on the end that lingers just a little bit too long for my taste, but all in all quite tasty.

Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. This one took me by surprise. A hoppy brown ale. Aromas of piney hops & some maltiness. Pours a very nice caramel colored brown with amber hues. Very long lasting head that never dissapated. Hops dominate the malts here. More a IPA IMO than a brown. Nice hop flavor throughout with malty backbone to add balance. Light fruitiness after initial hop bitterness. Another great beer from mikkeller

Jun 17, 2008 Bottle from Keg Liqour. Poured a dark brown color with a large frothy light brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Heavy toasted sweet malt and chocolate espresso aroma. Medium body. Solid bittersweet toasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

Jun 14, 2008 Dark brown pour and an absolutely gorgeous creamy white head that lasts. Nutty and malty aroma with some chocolate and piney hops. Mouthfeel is somewhat creamy and high carbonation. This one has a lot of hop bitterness up front, pine and grapefruit. Middle reveals a more roasted/coffee character. Bitter finish, lingering coffee, some residual pine/citrus hop flavors. A very good brown.
