Dec 19, 2008 Pours dark reddish brown with dark particulate and a tall foamy beige head, good retention, decent lacing. Aroma has floral hops, roast, nuts, dark chocolate, just a little caramel. Flavor is toasty thick crusted french bread, nuts, roast, bittersweet chocolate, burnt sugar/caramel. Some pretty decent hop notes toward the end, along with some roast and flakey biscuits. Could stand a little more sweetness, but a very good brown.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark red-brown, with a creamy tan cap that settles quickly but never quite goes away. Nose is nice and roasty, nutty, bread crust with hints of brown sugar and cocoa. Delicious but a bit reserved. Taste is beautifully rich and balanced - nutty and roasty, you get a big dose of the same breadcrusty flavors you get in the nose. But you also get a big, slightly dry brown sugar note that has that Belgian shimmer to it, leading to a nice, dry, roasty finish that balances the body perfectly without being overly bitter. Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied with a crisp but very light carbonation. Superbly drinkable and delicious beer, I would buy this by the case if I could get it.

Dec 5, 2008 Pours a clear brown with a nice tan head. Terriffic lacing. Aromas of molasses, maple syrup, caramel malt, and hazelnuts. Sort of watery mouthfeel with lots of roasted malt and nutty flavors. Long lasting, dry, sort of Brazil nut bitter aftertaste. A solid brown ale but not anything extraordinary.
