mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Oct 22, 2007 Pours with ahead that goes away, but leaves pretty swanky lacing and all. Red/brown color. Slightly fruity aroma with a sort of metallic smell is that makes an ounce of sense. Taste is pretty good with definitely enough malts and a few hops. Easy to drink because of the not too heavy body. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 16, 2007 This pours a clear chestnut body with a modest beige head. Plenty of lacing. It has a sweet worty aroma with a touch of chocolate. Medium-to-light bodied, it’s got a chocolate malt flavor with a mild nutty bitterness. Okay.

Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden Oct 15, 2007 (Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, grainy nose with notes of dried fruit, caramel and hints of rubber. Malty taste with dark fruit, wild berries, cherries, caramel and hints of rubbery hops in a short finish. Low bitterness, slightly sweetish. Ok, but fairly middle-of-the-road-ish. RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 10, 2007 Had this beer on 4/29/2003. Aroma is a full roasted malt scent. Color is a nice brown with very good carbonation and thick head. Taste is mellow and nutty. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish is a creamy nut like malt flavor backed by a gentle bitterness. It may be a little mellow for a brown but I like it. Theis (3617), Denmark Oct 10, 2007 Bottle at Oliver Twist. Clear red/brown - offwhite head. Red berries, malty sweetness, plain, weak watery body & finish. Just plain boring. TBone (6675), Pori, Finland Sep 30, 2007 Bottled, alc. 4.4%
Deep red color, not much head. Caramelly-toffeish malty aroma with light coffeish notes. Quite light brew. A bit malty, some toffeish notes. oh6gdx (8802), Vasa, Finland Sep 29, 2007 Bottled. Deep amber colour, not much head. Aroma is caramel, earth, some roast and big time malts. Flavour is earth, caramel a lot of malts and some slight metallicness. Wellbalanced. troyc (1173), Lubbock, Texas, USA Sep 27, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Malty aroma. Flavor was a little more complex, with some light smoke, nut and molasses. Well balanced and quite drinkable. Good mouthfeel, and slightly below average carbonation. Not as bitter as a lot of Brown ales. A pleasant surprise!
