sirpsycho (190), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA May 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cola brown, small tan head. Aroma is roasty, kinda hard to describe. Flavor is again roasty, malty, very slight touch of hops. Very different palate on this beer, very smooth, non offensive, leaves no aftertaste at all. Will buy this one again.
highibus (266), Vail, Arizona, USA Oct 9, 2008 Pours a dark brown with decent tan head. Aroma of biscuit and roasted malt. Flavor is spot on for a brown, some chocolate, biscuit and deep roastiness. Good medium body with a nice lingering maltiness, but not sweet. garza (87), Caracas, Venezuela Oct 5, 2008 A nice aroma of chocolate in this brown dark colour beer. Strong flavor with chocolate and slightly bitterness ending. The palate stays for a long time. Very good. Ifyouinsist (6), , Devon, England does not count Sep 30, 2008 Very dark, with a pleasing rich Merlot colour against the light, with the patina of ancient polished oak. Not as caramelly as some browns, but with a slight soapiness, which is odd. Pleasant enough. Slips down. robinvboyer (1052), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Sep 26, 2008 great brown pour, almost black actually. aroma is bit on roasted malt, and next to no hops, with a touch of ripe fruit. flavour is again very very roasty, i guess im used to the american brown ales that are big time front loaded with hops. This brown ale is excellent, but there are hardly any hops, and to be honest seems more like a porter to me. Big roasty notes, and some chocolate, and coffee in the finish with a nice bitterness. Trev (541), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Sep 26, 2008 Pours a hazy brown with a tight medium tan head.
Aroma is nice chocolate and roast malt tones. Slight fruity-herbal hop.
Flavour is very drinkable smooth nutty chocolate. Subtle lingering bitterness. Very well made. A little thin in the body but not enough to detract from the brew in my opinion.
