Gusler (2656), Tucson, Arizona, USA Oct 28, 2002 Re-rate 10/28/02: The beer pours a deep clear garnet to brown color, the head is mountainous, the lace in thick glutinous sheets, both light chocolate brown in color. Nose is malt, nutty sweet, caramel, and fresh and clean. Front is malt sweet, the top skimpy, the finish is gently acidic, sparsely hopped, the aftertaste malt dry. A bit to much malt, and a tad to little hops for me to rank it very high. A drinkable beer none the less, and would do well in putting out the fire after eating some ’Over The Top Cajun Food’! Ranks #826 on my current 1000 beer master list.
bsm80 (41), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Nice appearance dark red/brown, sweet, toffee, rich and thick. Creamy head, nice lasting aftertaste. SuperDave70 (766), Arizona, USA Sep 4, 2008 Dark brown pour with a thick foamy tan head. Aroma of burnt malt, molasses and funky yeast. Flavor wasn’t nearly as interesting. The burnt malt seems to overpower everything else. A bit thin on the palate. Not too impressive. ucusty (1062), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Sep 4, 2008 Thin dark pour with a fluffy khaki colored head. Yeast, roast, and maple on the nose. Roast, coffee, and chocolate. Unbalanced nbutler11 (161), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 27, 2008 Pours a watery black from the bottle with an almost fizzy tan head. Yeast and faint molasses on the nose with flavors of dark cocoa, toasted malts, and copper in the taste. Appears to be a stout, but tastes very much like an unbalanced brown. Biddle_Brau (135), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 26, 2008 Dark with ruby highlights and thin white head hardly a hint of aroma. Slight burnt roastiness/coffee thin palate (seems typical of the Abita’s I’ve had). Not sure if this wants to be a stout or dark lager with the roasiness but it’s not what I’d expect from a brown, either.
