sirpsycho (190), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA May 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown, touch of red with a tan head. Aroma is a roasted chocolate, almost burnt quality to it. Flavor hits you with some hops and then again with the roasted malt. Finish is a bit more bitter than I expected, probably due to the burnt quality that was present througout.
turbothy (619), Nørrebronx, Denmark Oct 9, 2008 Pours dark brown with medium head. Roasted, dark aroma. Heavy coffee flavour and strong, good aftertaste. Excellent. satan165 (133), River Grove, Illinois, USA Oct 3, 2008 smoky brown color, small aroma which is almost metallic. flavor is overhopped for the style, overwhelmingly bitter. some coffee, the aftertaste is not the taste of coffee....it is the aftertaste of coffee, like 2 hours after you drank some. why so many hops? doesnt seem to be necessary, and it irritates the smooth mouthfeel id like from a brown ale. too dry, too bitter, too thin. this is interesting, but its not a very good brown ale in my book. emerica56 (481), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Oct 2, 2008 Pours a thick tan head with streaks along the sides of the glass. The color is a semi clear nut brown. The nose is of floral and citrus hops. The flavor is nice and robust with a ton of chocolate malt and hints of roasted coffee. But it is not too roasted, it is nice and balanced. It is hopped very well and the carbonation is perfect. Overall it is a great brown ale and nice and refreshing. DougShoemaker (2613), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 2, 2008 Aroma is roasted, nearly toasted malt, and an influence of nuts also. Deep brown, pours a small tan head. Flavour is toasty malt, pleasant nuttiness, with some woody undertones. Medium bodied, very nicely balanced, lovely mouthfeel. Fabulous! armando629 (434), Budapest, Hungary Sep 29, 2008 Brown body with a frothy creamy beige head. Aroma of the hop flowers like resin with roasted malt and coffee. Complex mouthfeel with the caramel and coffe tastes, strong personality with a good balanced but powerfull hop flavo. Fine and long aftertaste of the roasted grains and coffe. Thank you, Mikkeller, it was really fine!r
