Pours a dark brown to settle black with only a low glow at the bottom when up to a strong light. Impressive for a brown as its body is semmingly more like a big Ol’ stout. Same as the head, big, lush, and foamy with the cast of tan that speaks of milk chocolate. Tons of cob webby sheeting lace coats the glass with immense sticking power.
Firmly set aroma of rum soaked chocolate. Traces of prune, vanilla, and cardamom. Quite a warm and heated dominance for the most part.
Big thick flavors eat into a warmth of cherry rum right off the bat. Calms down after a few more sips.Slight chocolate tone carries it through as it rides one very silky smooth warming of rummy dark fruits. Small portions of prune, raisin, cherry, and fig are buried under a blanket of warming chocolatey booze. Bold, heavy lasting chocolatey finish with a nip of hops and spice lingering of cardamom and anise. Borderline Imperial stout likeness here. Hard to fathom this is to be styled as a Brown. Its quite heavy.
Yeah, what I just said. Heavy, huge, thick, lush, warm, creamy, soothingly smooth with a nice smattering of spice and hops in the finish. The warmth is evident but not overpowering. Get your belly and throat ready as this stuff sits like a stone quite quick.
Be that as it may, this sucker drinks way too fuckin easy for 11%and is one wholesomely yummy treat for a Brown. If indeed this is suppose to be a Brown. I swear I’ve had some Imperial Stouts that are very close in comparison. Which is an impressive thought indeed. He’Brew Eleven is more like a Thirteen...what does that mean, I don’t know. Its damn good, how’s that!

Sep 4, 2008 IT POURS DARK WITH A NICE THICK HEAD OF FOAM. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLUS ITS KOSHER. I WOULD CONVERT TO JUDAISM IF THEIR FOOD TASTED THIS GOOD ALSO.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head with medium retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Licorice and pit fruit aromas. Sweet and full upfront with caramel, figs and prunes. Lasting licorice and dry hop finish.

Aug 21, 2008 22oz. bottle. Dark, sweet malt aroma, roasty and lightly fruity with notes of coffee, dark breadiness, chocolate, caramel, cola and some light, plummy fruit. Deep, dark red-brown color, nearly black, with a fine, but lasting, tan ring head. Flavor is predominantly malty as well, showing some dark fruitiness and hop citrus in the background, but otherwise roasty dark maltiness dominates, with suggestions of rich dark chocolate, espresso, prune, fig, toffee and with only a very slight bitterness at the finish. Palate is thick and smooth, body is adequately full. Far from the train wreck that it could’ve been, this one actually held a small amount of intrigue for me.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle. A dark red beer with a big beige head. The aroma is of yeast, dark fruits, glue and alcohol, the taste is much the same just without the glue. Medium body with a alcoholic finish.
