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.

Poured into Red Sox pint. Pours VERY dark, almost black. Smells of rich dark malt. Next to zero head / light carbonation. Very smooth, very tasty brew. Rich in flavor but easy to drink. Excellent beer.

12-oz. Thanks, Bitbucket! Talk about a guy who knows how to bring back the right kind of souvenirs for his pals when he goes on a trip--Bob’s got it goin’ on.
Pours a deep, nearly opaque dark brown with a slim tannish rim. Minimal lace. Nice forward molasses and caramel, brown bread-y nose. Medium body, soft carb. The molasses, caramel, and brown bread come back for the mid-palate. Mild finish. Not a bad little brown. A bit on the dull side, but not flawed in any heinous way.

Ruddy mahogany red pour; pillowy, creamy soda foam. Mineral, berry, and earthy toasted malt aroma. Candied pecans, and caramel, but more rustic than rich. A big, warm cinnamon spiciness in bonfire smoke unfolds with a surprising depth. Flavor is gritty, bittersweet pecan at first. Sugary tones of malt shuffle about; crispy hints of apple and candied nuts on basic dark bread. A wink of black malt astringency lingers a bit, with some grapefruity hop, waning into a sharp, sweet middle of baked pears. Thin palate is fittingly not sharply carbonated, retaining smoothness; finishes short, with some earthy sweetness of cinnamon sugar smacking lightly. Casually enjoyable. Thanks Joshua!

Bottle @<a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/cnudde-ølsmagning-og-møde-i-ulfborg_87114.htm target=_new> Cnudde Tasting.. Clear medium to dark amber color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (290308)
