Bottle from Systembolaget. Dark brown colour with a light beige head. A bit weak aroma but it contains some sweet dark malt and a bit roasted malt. Some sweetness in the flavour. Like toffe and cocolate. Mild roasted and light hoppy.

330 ml bottle. BBE Apr 11. Thanks Timo.
Dark brown colour with small creamy tan head. Roasted/toasted caramel malt, some dry hoppy bitterness, chocolate and liquorice in aroma. Flavour is very dry with roasted/toasted malt, liquorice, moderately bitter hops and mild notes of coffee. Ash in aftertaste. Surprisingly tasty for a Brown Ale.

En välbalanserad öl med huvudsaklig maltig ton, beskan gör dock inte mycket väsen av sig. Men det är i huvudsak en ganska så lätt och slät sak som jag hade kunnat dricka fler gånger.

Rödbrun färg med ett cm-tjockt skum som bildar ett lock. Blommig, lätt parfymerad doft och nybakt mörkt bröd. Viss sötma med lite karamell, blommigt åt det lite unkna hållet som Fuggles bidrar med men också en tydlig lätt parfymerad kådig ton av Amarillon, lite bränd eftersmak och aningens metallsmak, en lätt behaglig efterbeska. Fin balans mellan malt och de båda humlesorterna. Inte någon typisk brown ale kanske men en snygg nytolkning som jag gillade.

17-JUN-2011, bottle @Erik. Pours brown with low head. Very malty in the form of bread, charamel, chocolate and nuts. Not much hops here but a long soft malty ending. I guess it does have some age, Erik? Well, anyway it is quite mellow and nice.

has a brown cola-like colour and quite clear liquid with a white creamy minimal head mainly focused on the sides of the glass. not a special looking beer. the aroma is surprisingly complex with coffee, malt, a bit of caramel, chocolate, a roasty feel to it. the problem is that the aromas aren’t that strong and are rather raw in a weak way. has medium bitterness and sourness which i find surprising. also light sweetness with a happy sour twist. a very interesting taste spectrum for a brown ale of this %. the body is light with a thin texture but that works well with the bitter twist of the taste. a fizzy and lively carbonation supports this. overall this is a nice beer that made a statement of it’s own, but didn’t have that much power to impress me more. still, a nice mixture of things going on.

Dark brown beer, creamy and lacy head. Dry malts, slightly rye-like, dry bready toast, a hint of smoke, some fruity hops. Dry taste, clean toasty barley with minor coffee notes and raisins. A bit thin body, slightly watery texture.

330 ml bottle. Dark brown and clear. Medium-sized white coarse head. Raisiny watery metallic aroma. Earthy hops. Hints of toffee. Chocolate and coffee flavours. Some ash and a little smoke. Raisins, but not sweet. Dry mouthfeel with gentle crisp bitterness. Decent, drinkable brown ale.
