Bottle shared by hammerslammer. Thanks for sharing this beer with me hammerslammer. Notes of pleasant toasted hazelnuts. Coffee roast. Best slumbrew beer I’ve had. Pretty clean. Nice. Bit too big.

Bottle from Julios. Pours out a very dark brown brew with a deep tan head. Nice roasty aromas. Flavor is deep and malty with lots of layers. Chocolate and roasted nuts. Not overly sweet and very well balanced. Fantastic!

On tap at Cambridge Common 1/12/2013 with Erica. Deep brown or black pour with a beige head that vanishes quickly. Subdued coffee and nuts on the nose. Toasty, spicy palate upfront. Notes of toast, coffee grounds, and some cocoa. Pretty decent.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
From a bottle. Really great beer. Almost a cross between a brown ale and a stout. Rich chocolate nose and slightly sweet finish.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark brown pour with a light beige head. Aroma is punchy espresso, bitter chocolate, and toasted grain. Delightfully creamy and smooth. This beer is downright delicious. Nice balance of bitter espresso, chocolate malt, and light cascade bitterness. Forward flavors, a great creaminess, and a lasting bitter chocolate finish. An underlying toastiness ties everything into a lovely, brown ale. Get some. It’s good.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours deep mahogany into a Sam glass. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Dark chocolate, espresso and caramel aromas. Dry with deep dark chocolate upfront turning full in the lasting bitter espresso finish.
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
This is a great beer, Autumn is my favorite season because of all of the brown ales which come out, hop content not distinct but not too crazy while the malt body is perfection. Great with a steak or a chilly night on the porch!!
