33cl bottle. Brown colour with dense tan head, moderate lasting and nice lacing. Aroma is malty, sweet and with caramel hints. Flavour is slightly sweet, notes of dryed fruits are present, nuts and almonds. The final is smooth, with a slightly sweetness and bitterness in the aftertaste. Good balance. carbonation is flat to medium. Body is medum. Texture is medium to ouly.

Appearance is a medium tan head with a deep amber. Aroma is a sweet nutty malt. Taste is a similar sweet malt with some tart kick. Overall not the best brown ale.

About 20 years ago, this may have been the first really good beer I ever had. Smooth, malty nutty flavor with a little hop bitterness in the finish. Great flavor yet still easy to drink.

Bottle from mellow mushroom. Dark thick head and malty odor. Medium heavy palate and full body. Nutty overtones. A decent steak beer. ---Rated via my mouth

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2012 Pours brown with solid lacing and head. Smells bit of coffee and chocolate, even a smidgen floral, and plenty of bread. Taste is slight chocolate and lots of wheat bread. Full-flavored, good body. Very good representation of the style. I will put this up there with the more porter-like Abita Turbodog - maybe not quite as tasty in short bursts, but more true of the typical easy English Brown Ale style, and more sessionable.

Poured into a tulip glass. A medium brown color, almost the same as the color of the label. Two fingers of dirty head that held nicely. Quite an experience for the nose: nutmeg, alcohol (weird with so low ABV) and grain. Good malt at first but not sweet. Followed by candy sweet, then a slightly bitter ending. Silky smooth, low carbonation and medium bodied. What a treat. Outstanding beer. The texture was incredible. Find some now for yourself.

Aroma di malto, caramello, zucchero di canna e nocciola. Al palato inizialmente dolce, poi con una punta salina e infine compare il sapore di nocciole e frutta secca in generale, con un tocco di luppolatura aromatica; che è eccezionale e rende il retrogusto molto piacevole.

550ml bottle. Nice deep clear amber colour with medium head, rather low retention. Aroma is bready, a little sweet, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, toffee, a hint of roasted nuts. Taste is light, with malts first, grassy hops, some woodiness, sweetish finish with a bitter aftertaste. Medium complexity I guess. Interesting.

Dark ruby color with light brown foam head, lacing to glass. Sweet nutty smell (surprise) but also hop. Sweet nutty taste although some bitterness too. (Houston 201205)

Brune avec col crémeux et persistant. Une odeur de léger caramel et de vanille. Goût un peu noisette, le sucre caramélisé discret avec une douc amertume qui enrobe le tout. Peu de co2, un peu sèche, arrière goût amer. Une excellente bière.
