nice brown body with an off white head.i get thick lacing left on the glass when the head settles.aroma is brown sugar,caramel malts,and a slight hop presence.flavor is mostly caramel malts and brown sugar.pretty tasty stuff.

Small tan head, fair retention and scant lacing. Hazy brown color. Malty nose, faintly earthy. Medium body. Medium sweet malt flavors, lightly toasty with notes of caramel and a touch of chocolate malt and yeast. Medium sweet, nutty finish.

Pours deep amber with a frothed up, beige head. Nutty hopped up aroma, some bread, spicy malts. FLavour profile matches the aroma as far as the nuttiness goes. Very malty, pretty sweet, like a sweet brown ale. Good carbo.

Light brown coloured beer with a small off-white head and some light carbonation. Herby, malty light roasted aroma. Full palate. Finish is light malty sweet with a rather short ending.

This beer packs quite the unassuming punch. I mean, you think you are going to get some blah kinda brown ale and it’s like a mini-barleywine style beer in a cool swing-top bottle. Aroma is sweet malts. Reminds me of the smell when you steep caramel grains. That sweet worty aroma. Same thing here. Appearance is toffee brown in color, with a smallish sized off-white head. Large bubbles cling to the sides of the glass for dear life, but subside to nothing more than a light scummy ring. Mouthfeel is medium-thick, with a smoothness I really liked. Flavors are sweet malts, some light sour action going on on the sides of the tongue, brown sugar and more malt. Lots and lots of malt in this one, but it’s nice. As I said, it’s like a mini-barleywine in some ways minus the hops and minus the alcohol.

Cloudy amber coloured, small head. Nice aroma, malty, fruity, some hops. Nice malty flavour. Bitter finish.

11.2 oz bottle Prior notes-Poured a dark brown with a huge head. Aroma of sweetness, malt, and grains. Taste of this light to medium bodied brew was of mainly malt and throw in some caramel. Not bad but not good.

(on bottle) "Oh my, here we again with the strong, way too sweet, way too alcohol fattend barley wines" was actually my first thought. A Vienna??! Served from a small 33ml. bottle, this beer allmost had me for good. It´s rich in every aspect of the malts, hops, dried fruit-and-chocolate-tastes and has very dominat alcohol sharpness to it. Overload on every front is not allways a good thing. EXTRA. Having a pub with a restaurant, my chef found out that this beer is very good for making sauces, no overwhelming bitterness at all, just round malts and fresh hops.
