Crushed with Jakebra. Pretty roatsy I guess. Had low expectations after trying the Hub City’s brown, and it’s way better, but that’s not saying much.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pepsican. Hazy orangey brown with a bubbly, light brown head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and wood. Medium body with an extreme carbonation, roasted sweetish malt and vanilla. Dry and lightly malt bitter finish. Very over carbonated. 201008

Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Dark mahogany color. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, fruit, grain. Medium bodied with an lively carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor, light bitter notes. Mild roasted malty sweet finish.

Darker brown with a medium head. Aroma is roasty-coffeish aroma. Flavor is a bit roasty with an oddly-metallic fiinish. Not bad, but seemsed a bit off.
