COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

Bottle from a generous friend in Phoenix!. Thanks Mojo! Pours a cola colored brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of nuts and caramel. A dry thin bodied beer that has an intial sweet taste of roasted malt and toffee in the beginning but finshes with a slight bitter flavor. Not a bad beer at all.

Dark brown bubbly head with a khaki head which is very shiny. Smell is musty and a bit doughy with small hints of coffe beans. Taste is very watered down and sparkly almost like a toasted flavored alka seltzer.

12oz bottle poured ruby brown in color with a small off white head. Aroma of chocolate malt and caramel. Taste was watery chocolate with a small bitterness. Clean but not too many flavors going on in this one.

12 Oz. Bottle courtesy of FlacoAlto. Dark brown pour with a thin beige head. Smells of hazelnut, caramel, chocholate. Initial taste of light chocholate, followed by a harsh metallic taste which almost led me to pour it out, but i didn’t and it did improve when it warmed bringing some caramels flavors with it.

Emil (6070) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JAN 11, 2007
Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. The aroma is a bit roasted, dusty, with chocolate and a faint sourness, the taste is is the same with some acid sourness, I don´t think it´s sopose to be there, but I can see Ungstrup rated it and it was the same bottle. Medium body with a light dry finish.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 9, 2007
Bottled. A dark brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, that makes it a bit acidic, combined with notes of milk chocolate.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 23, 2006
A fine brown, creamy and licorice aroma and taste, I think Solomon420 sent this hitchiker, but I stand to be corrected. A bit of creaminess on chocolate brown colour. A tad aggressive carbonation, altogether serviceable but just another brown.
