Bottle; poured a dark brown, with quickly diminishing beige head. Aroma was pretty subtle; with hints of caramel, chocolate and a light roasted essence. Flavor was pretty light, but good; palate was smooth and drinkable, with a slightly dry ending. About average overall, but good for the style.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Lightly burned caramel aroma. Rather thin and watery body, some burned caramel and roasted malt and a hint of fruit. But fairly dry without any real bitterness. Quite drinkable though. 280507

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, but added light notes of nuts, leading to a dry end. Tasty for the style.

DId not like this at all. Brown with small head. Too much malt and coffee for this one.

12 oz. bottle at Zeno’s, Penn State. Poured chestnut brown with a skim of head. Pretty nutty, malty taste. Roasty with chocolate and coffee tones.

Bottle. Dark Brown color with quickly fading head. Sweet, carmel-ly nose with strong malty flavors and notes of chocolate and carmel with a nutty finish. Not bad.

Initial roasted malt, sweet, and slightly hoppy flavors. Well carbonated, but not a watery beer. The lack of complexity in the beer caused it to get boring quickly.

Pours with a generous head that dissipates quickly. A nice dark brown, with a slightly too light mouthfeel and plenty of carbonation. Unlike other brown ales I’ve had, there is a serious toasted barley flavor throughout - hinting on coffee, but I didn’t notice any chocolate. My favorite brown ale so far.
