Draught @ the brewpub. Tanned creamy one-finger head quickly reduced to ring of foam. Unclear, dark brown color. Aroma of chocolate, dark dried fruits, coffee and light roastiness. Medium sweet and malty taste. Notes of cocoa, chocolate and caramel. Mildly hopped. Healthy body. Sweetish malts in the finish.

Jun 17, 2008 Sødlig karamel, ristet malt og nødder. OK humle. Medium fyldig. God ristet og nødde eftersmag. Væsentlig bedre end mange danske Brown Ales.

May 26, 2008 (Bottled) Very dark ruby with a smallish, but firm head. Aroma of caramel and roasted, sourish malt. Slightly sweet, dark-toffeeish, caramely flavor with smooth, but evident hops, and some sourness. Medium-bodied, smooth-carbonated palate. A quite nice, sourish and balanced brown ale.
