JorisPPattyn (4275), Antwerpen, Belgium Apr 25, 2008 Deep brown-foxy beer with yellow head. Chocolate, and chocolate, and chocolate with nuts, and milkchocolate, and - OK, you get the idea. Sweet-nutty, if not too sweet, ending in chocolate. Medium bodied, syrupy. Oh well, good try - but it WAS excellent with the porc!
hillfiiiiire (163), Atoka, Tennessee, USA Aug 22, 2008 A cloudy brown body with a nice tan head.
Caramel sweetness, a little bit of chocolate and the nominal nuttiness all in the aroma. Caramel’s up front in the flavor. Not a horribly complex flavor though. Rather light bodied. Not terrible, just not interesting. vyvvy (1689), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Aug 15, 2008 Pours amber / brown with a tan head. The aroma has nice toasted malt, hazelnuts, light cream and mild milk chocolate. Medium body that’s slick and smooth with fairly soft carbonation. The flavor starts with the aroma traits, but a but sharp and crisp. The finish has a touch more bitterness and is quite dry. A good brown ale. fidel (133), Livermore, California, USA Aug 14, 2008 Dark redish amber, Malty, Nutty, caramel, little dark fruits, slight coffee, dry finish. Nik925 (92), California, USA Aug 11, 2008 Has a great caramel to the malt, and a hint of cherry flavor. A bit thin in flavor and palate and failed to achieve greatness, but a solid beer. MrBunn (841), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 10, 2008 Bottle. Pour is a translucent brown with a bit of a head that almost has a green edge to it... maybe it’s time for bed(?) Aromas are week but decent... nuts and brown sugar. Flavor is a lovely mix of sweet malt in the form of brown sugar and toffee with some nutty side notes and then back to sweetness for the finish.
