Nut, roast, and chocolate aroma. Brown, clear, with off-white head. Roast, malt, caramel, and and hop bitter notes. Balanced, with dry bitter finish.

Bottle here in Colorado. Pours a dark brown color and develops a thin head with minimal retention. Rather hoppy and not too many noticeable other flavors. I didn’t care much for the taste.

Bottle at Bishops Arms Malmö. Brown in color, malty sour and sweet in both nose and taste.

Brown ale rating #100. Woohoo for numbers! Bottle. Filtered, clear medium dark caramel brown. Big dusty caramel syrup and maple cracker malt nose, dry and parched. Fresh, chewy, vibrant presence on the palate, but develops a sour, vegetal twang over the middle, turns into a strange minty toothpaste pastiness in the back. Smells decent enough, but tastes suspect.

12 oz bottle. slight cinnamon flavor. Drinkable. Not as flavorful as my last brown ale, Corsendonk, but nice on it’s own.

Taste 8/8 Bottled 10/17/07. Looks: Brown with tan top. Aroma: Sweetness, toast, yeast, coca bean. Fresh. Taste: Creamy. Nice sour and malt mix. Smooth bodied. Tastes of quality ingredients. Caramel. Good brownie.

This beer seems to be sort of a straightforward beer. It has a distinct alcohol taste but is relatively smooth for that type of drink. It has a light malt flavor and is a easy drinking beverage.
