Oct 12, 2005 (bottle) Red brown colour with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet biscuits, caramel, prunes. Sweet flavour, medium body. Initially sweet toast-malty, slightly raisin-fruity taste and with a liquorice finish, a bit sugary.

Oct 3, 2005 Dark clear mahogany (not really brown at all) with a nice beige head. Aroma mostly of caramel and some faint roastiness. Very sweet. Toasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, with a touch of chocolate and the slightest bit of roastiness. Very light bitterness, finishes watery. Mouthfeel is on the thin and watery side with a low level of carbonation. Didn’t care for this one much.

Sep 26, 2005 Strong acidic aroma balanced by a mellow maltiness. Dark brown with a lovely two finger thick tan head. Caramel malts, smooth fruits like apple and raisin with a strong hint of walnut in the finish. Great sipping beer. I’d love to have this fresh on draft.

Sep 22, 2005 Decent for what it is. At least it is better than what Newcastle has become. A little nut and caramel on the aroma and it pours nice into a glass. Short but okay on the palate. Wouldn’t choose everyday.

Sep 18, 2005 Chocolately brown with a mousse-like head. Silky smooth with a pleasing amount of raisinette sweetness. Easily quaffable and recommended for a change from other brown ales.

Sep 16, 2005 Very enjoyable beer! Solid, reddish brown color with a slightly tan head that has some staying power. Slighty hoppy, molasses taste with a sweet aftertaste.

Sep 14, 2005 New in Town!
Pours an amber body… and a full tan head. The aroma and flavor on first notice bring hints of green apple, toffee, woodsy hops, green grapes with the skins, a hint of walnut… and a strange light skunkyness in the finish…. reminds me of New Castle Brown with a doughy yeasty twist… Not so impressed…. And La Trappe’s beers were once so Impressive....
