3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark amber color. Fruity/malty aroma. Carmel malt flavor, somewhat acidic. Pretty thin body. Tastes better after it warms up some.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dark reddish-brown hue. Fruity nose with hints of chocolate and some nuttiness. Small head dissipates quickly. This beer sux...Completely lacking in taste, i would rather drink newcastle i think. What the hell are these guys thinking, its almost as bad as Dundee’s honey brown

Bottled, GBBF London. Red brown with low head and condition. Chocolate nose to start with but develops a fruitiness that turns woody and almost sour. Body is creamy with a roasted note and more chocolate and finishes sweetly.

Their website states that Abita’s TurboDog ascended from Old Brown Dog, maybe so but it also kicked it in the teeth and pissed on it to mark it’s territory, it owns you bitch!

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2005 Some hovering apples and crunchy roasted nuts…Good caramel malt and butterscotchy presence…Polite hops…Pretty sweet, but well-rounded and silky...

Strong dark malt aroma, nice fresh taste with a decent amount of hops. This is a beer where if you have a 6 month old bottle, you should pass, but if it is fresh, drink up!

A hint of fruit comes through in the nose. Nice flvors of malt and caramel in the body. Finishes with a slight nuttiness.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mild malty aroma with a bit of fruitiness and nuttiness. No head. Coppery brown beer. Medium carbonation and body. Starts mildly sweet. Bit of alcohol taste with vapory feel. Nice balance of hops and malt, and a little bitterness at the end. Sweet, nutty after. Good beer.

I go with the guy who thought it tasted like unfermented wort. I’ve had quite a few opportunities to sample the same, what with all of my husband’s homebrew experiments, and though this isn’t quite so thin, flat, or sweet, it does have those characteristics. So many exceptionally tasty things come out of the legendary PsychProf cellar, that this one stands out a little in my memory as a particularly mediocre brown.

Nope. The commercial description claims an attempt to transcend the style, but there are so many fantastic American browns doing just that that this effort really pales in comparison. I tasted it after a few really good browns and it harkened immediately back toward Newcastle’s mush in comparison. It’s a pleasant enough brown, but on a night of superstar beers, it cast the palest light.
