bu11zeye (3780), Frisco, Texas, USA Jul 2, 2008 (22oz. bottle) Pours a chestnut brown body with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, and nuts. Flavor of cocoa, toasted grain, and nuts. Easy drinker. mgermani (621), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 5, 2008 Pours a clear light brown with a good 2-finger head with passable retention and a nutty, hoppy aroma. Not bad! Tastes surprisingly balanced for a brown, especially one with "sweet" in the title - nutty and chocolaty, but with enough hops to balance things nicely. Moderately creamy body and good carb, dangerously sessionable! Boutip (1815), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 4, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Oakbluff: Poured a deep brown color ale with an average foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of deep caramel and toffee malt is quite interesting. Taste is a nice mix between some caramel and toffee malt notes with a medium dry hoppy finish. Full body with some good carbonation. Very well done over all but was hoping ( and would have like) a hoppier finish. thepegjett (47), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Apr 18, 2008 A - roasted nutty aroma.
A - full brown colour
F - Sweet and bitterl flavor.
P - Smooth.
O - sweet and nutty, very New Castle esque. Pigfoot (2225), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Nov 28, 2007 Clear and mahongany tinted, under a perfectly rusted and rocky cream toned head of foam. Nice.
Aroma: lovely stuff, an enticing mix of nuts, soft cocoa, light spice...big malt, plenty of caramel, and light hops. Mmmm.
Lets taste ’er!
Lively carbonation, malty sweetness, then dry...some bright fruity flavors, some cherry speaking up, very tasty...full flavored, roasty-toasty...feeling like the character of a dubbel, here, and no wonder...British crystal malt, plus Belgian Biscuit and Chocolate...very good. Golding and Cascade hops, fairly small in the flavor, but they sparkle in the finish.
Sweet, yes, and just a little bitter. Mmmm. I like it, and it reminds me of my beloved Bender. Beautiful stuff, here. I’m sure, just like Nikki.
