Bottle - Clear brown/tan with thin milky head. lovely aroma of dark malts, raisins and hints of chocolate. Relatively rich mouthfeel, again dark fruits, hints of cocoa and brown sugar. Not bulky but enough body and texture to give it interest.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with medium beige head. Aroma is rather lile, hoppy on a malt base. Medium body, caramel and rye bread notes. Malty finish.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 9 Oct 2010) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly roasted taste with notes of dark rye bread, coffee and hints of ashes. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark bread, dried fruit and a generous spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel. Some malt sweetness. Well balanced and very tasty beer. Nice one.

1 oz sample at the GABF. Roasted, carmel, slight smokey smokey aroma. Clean deep brownish-amber color. Roasted carmel bread flavor, slightly creamy. Slighlty bitter, earthy. Slighlty thin,medium body, medium carbonation.

bomber by way of daknole on 4/12/10. crayola brown crayon color with a rather large off white head. it smells and tastes like toast, malt, brown sugar, spicy hops, orange and grapefruit. it is very dry throughout, crisp and quite easy to drink for the rest of the evening. 7/3/7/4/16/3.7

Nice crisp brown ale. Pours deep brown, clear with a bit of head on it. Some really quality malts. Full of hoppy goodness. Wouldnt quite classify the malts as chocolately, but they are full bodied. Aftertaste is really nice, crisp and soothing.

[3004-20100628] Tap. Wood and firewood pine aroma. Clear, rich amber body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Rich toasted multi-grain bread flavour has a hint of dry wood in the aftertaste. Medium-full body is fairly boozy. Good.

2010-06-28. Dark red-brown body, creamy beige head and lace. 3+ Traditional brown ale character - toasty roasty malt - are there but are somewhat subdued, letting a good amount of bitterness come through, modest hops with light green touches that clashes a bit with the malt aspects. 7+ Aroma is similarly indicative of a traditional brown ale character, malt forward, toasty malt with sweet caramel hints. 7+ Average plus palate is pleasantly carbonated. Pretty solid, a little more hop character than would be my preference for the style. Sampler at the brewpub, Pacific City.

22 oz. bottle, pours dark brown with a minimal head. Aroma of roasted malt, hops and nuts. Flavour of roasted malt and hops, with a thin body. Nicely balanced.

Bottle shared by daknole. Pours a dark shade of amber with a trim off-white head. Smells and tastes of citrus, hops, carpet, cocoa, sweet malts, and licorice. Not bad.
