UTS: Pepsi cola med julmust skum
D: Newcastle brown ale + kaffe
S: Som en Newcastle men lite torrare och med någon oidentifierbar metallisk bismak. Faktiskt helt OK men orginalet (tänkte då på NBA) rules.
Brukar bli besviken på Shipyard men faktiskt inte denna gång.
ES: Sötsyrlig mjuk dimma
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From mcox90 via trade. Poured a fairly dark brown color with a short, off-white head, aggressive carbonation and only a bit of lacing. Aroma is of sweet caramel malts and light citrus. Not much in terms of roasted or chocolate malts. The flavor was again sweet malts and light citrus hops. A bit of vanilla and maybe some thin chocolate but not much. Thin mouthfeel with lots of carbonation.

12oz bottle pours clear deep amber and tan head with brown highlights. This has a nice aroma full of caramel malts, nuttiness and some roasty malts. The taste is similar with lots of caramel malts moving into nuttiness, a dash of chocolate and mild notes of malt roastiness. Nice brown.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355 ml bottle from Systembolaget, Nordstan. Nice apperance. A crystal clear, deep ruby-brown colored beer with a coarse, big-bubbled tan head on top. Aroma has a pleasant sweetness of buttery, caramellish malts and roasted nuts, with a whiff of red fruits and marzipan. Flavor does not quite live up to the aroma. A light to medium malt body with a light sweetness, and also some sourish tones. Notes of peppery and earthy hops. Body is a bit underweight. Oily mouthfeel. Short malty finish, on the drier side, with a faint bitterness.
