omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Nov 9, 2006 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear ruby, average head. Aroma of sweaty hops and roasty malt. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. The roasty malt dominates the picture, with apricots and soapy hops simmering on top. A pleasant enough brown ale, well above average. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Nov 7, 2006 on tap-pours an off white head with copper/amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt. Taste is upfront nutty. Sweet medium malt-caramel, secondary hops bite. OK carbonation. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Nov 6, 2006 solid brown color, sweet scent, light carbonation, malty flavor with a slightly bitter and dry aftertaste, not a big fan of brown ales in general and this changes nothing PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Nov 3, 2006 Pours a a dark, murky orange with a wispy white head. Slightly funky aroma, a bit of toe-jam and orange marmalade - mellows after a while. Sticky flavor, mangos, nectarines, some nuttiness, back end of spruce. Very full bodied and enjoyable. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Very different brown ale - tastes more like an APA to me. Thanks to Aurelius for this one - extra from his Ale in the Mail shipment. HumuloneRed (750), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 3, 2006 Beer of the month club beer. I was expecting a boring brown ale but was pleasantly surprised. I found it to be a nice drinkable beer. It pour a clear light orange with a white head and lacing. The nose is mild with hint of chocolate and toffee. Flavors of chocolate and malt. Nice and drinkable beer. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Oct 25, 2006 12 oz bottle via Malt of Earth monthly beer club shipment. Pours a clear redddish amber with an average size beige head. Very subtle aroma...some caramel malt, toffee and molasses detected. Taste is the same with malts stealing the show.
