Bière brune foncée ayant des arômes de boisé, de caramel et de café. Bière asser complexe et corsé, avec une finale trop forte de café qui est pour moi, légèrement désagréable.

Pours clear dark brown, with a medium tan head, very good lacing. Smells of chocolate, chicory, and plum. Medium body, velvety and smooth. Tastes of chocolate, chicory, and light molasses, pine and grass in the medium-bitter aftertaste. Tastes more like a porter than a mild brown ale.

This was an amazing beer and readily available at my local Kroger in a sixer. Loved the syrupy, molasses-like texture with prominent brown sugar sweetness and powerful malt aroma. Well balanced hop addition, full-bodied and well-rounded beer. I even got my girlfriend to enjoy this craft brew. Sessionable at 7.2% and 50 IBU.

This is probably the best brown ale I have had. It has a wonderful mouhtful of flavor. The roasted barley and sugars create a very dleicious ale. You did not want the beer to end. This is good one. The ale poured a deep reddish brown. The head was small and disappeared. I am getting a 6 pack of this. A fun experience. This is why you taste different beers. You have some discoveries that keep you coming back for more.

Medium brown with a nice looking head. Very roasted nose and opens like a brown ale, or maybe even a porter, mid palate is definitely weak, and finish has a bitterness that I did not care for all that much. The first time I had this beer I was not that impressed, but last night it was a better experience..

Pours dark brown with beige head. Hoppy aroma with hints of coffee, roasted malts, alcohol. Roasted malt and coffee/caramel taste with a nice dry hop finish. Very smooth, stays with you. Another solid Dogfish Head beer. Maybe the only reason to visit Deleware.

Chocolate, strong coffee, burnt caramel, toffee aromas. Reddish-dark-brown, brief minimal tan-white head. Medium sweet, heavy bitterness. Heavy bodied, soft carbonation, finishing long bitter mocha. A decent beer. Probably would enjoy it in cooler weather.
