Jan 17, 2007 Bottled. A dark red-brown beer with a bubbly thick brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel and nuts, but also with light notes of chocolate and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, chocolate, and nuts, as well as lighter notes of vanilla, hops, and cream, leading to a dry woody and slightly bitter end. Dark bitter chocolate notes lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is very smooth. This is how I like my brown ale.

Jan 15, 2007 Dark red-brown colored, big yellow head. Chocolate, toffee, mild hoppiness in sweet aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is more roasted with coffee tones and some chocolate, bitter hops also there. Aftertaste is nicely hopped and bitter. Slightly too thin bodied and somehow watery palated.

Jan 14, 2007 Bottle. Brown, translucent body with minimal head that dies down quickly. Aromas are intersting: a bit of chocalte, some sugar and hazelnut. Even then, aromas are somewhat subdued. Flavor is better than aroma: chocolate is the main call, but there is a roasted malt that comes off more sweet than burnt, a touch of molasses, some toffee and a nutty/malty finish. The nut presence is very mild, but there. Body is a bit thin, but it works well with the flavoring and this is entirely enjoyable.

Jan 11, 2007 14 month old bottle. Dark brown with minimal head. Great aroma for the style; rich malt with a hint of alcohol. Kind of smokey aggressive malt flavour. Thin body. Dry malt. Short sweet finish.

Jan 11, 2007 (Bottled) Dark amber color with a smallish, but lasting, lacy head. Slightly vinous berry aroma with salty-licoricey maltiness. Quite licoricey, smooth-malty, slightly roasty flavor with some dried fruit and sourness. Medium-bodied palate with pretty high carbonation. Quite nice for a brown ale, but not much else. More malty and dark than expected.
