Dansting (222), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Nov 9, 2007 Poured a clear brown color with a medium light-brown head. Its aroma was a nice blend of roasted malts, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Flavor was simililar to the aroma, as it was a nice chocolate malt flavor with a hoppy finish. Probably the best Fort Collins beer I’ve had from the bottle. elpresidente19 (5), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA does not count Feb 22, 2007 A very solid, drinkable brown ale. Good dark color. To be honest, I liked this one out of the bottle better than a snifter. Delicious toffee and hazelnut notes. Extremely smooth and tasty! joebrew (604), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Nov 23, 2007 Pours a nice deep mahogeneyed(?) dark brownish color, with a nice, but quickely dissapating tan head. Hint of spearmint like sweetness accompanies a heavy nutty sweetness and some biscuity sweet malt. Nice rounded flavor with a good dose of caramel and earthy nuttiness, as well as some light floral hops accompanying a light bittersweet chocolate note, the hops show up with more strength in the finish. Pretty nice beer. nearbeer (1224), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Dec 20, 2007 650 ml. Darkish brown-copper and clear with a small, lasting head. Musty, malted grain and slight cocoa aroma. Flavor is toasted nut, earthy grains, spiced wood, slight yeast, and some sour-tart notes. Smooth, medium body has some nice tingle, and a dry finish. Nice fall-winter brown. ILoveNewBeer (81), Iowa City, Iowa, USA May 23, 2008 Delicious hazelnut flavor. I used to work at a coffee store and their Hazelnut coffee wishes that it had this flavor.
