RBESG grand tasting. hm... my notes got mixed. Beige medium-big head that went away slowly. Dark, murky brown body. Chocolate, dark malts and bread can be found in the slightly roasty nose. Remarkably nice. The taste is again roasty, dark malts, caramel, some hop. Lovely... some breadiness and light aroma hop. Probably the best brown ale I’ve had.

Tasted 7/14/08. 22oz bomber. Hazy with a brown hue. Finger width of beige head. Noticeably hoppy nose. Piney and citrus with cocoa and dark chocolate. Touch of dark berries. On the fuller side of medium bodied with a lingering hop bitterness. Dark chocolate and acidic malts. This is bitter upon bitter. Mild carbonation, but the hops still leave a tingle on the tongue. Hits and rolls over the palate. Chocolate and coffee malts and a big hop presence. This is very nice. A big hoppy brown!

Palate: mouthfeel is crisp, drying, texture is peppery, finish is long, bitter, and enjoyable. 5 out of 5. Overall: Reminded me of a dark and delicious root beer. I’d have it again as a gift, but the price was very steep. Browns in general are not a favorite style for me. This one was very well done, as are all Mikkelleri. 18 out of 20.

Picked this bottle up from Uto Beer stall, Borough Market stall, Lahndan tahn, 21-06-08 consumed 04-07-08. Pours conker brown looking a little murky in the depths and with a light brown head. Burnt coffee, roasted malts and some soft brown sugar leap forth from the nose. The taste is fiercely bitter the burnt coffee that was present in the nose returns in the mouth along with some burnt cinder toffee and some further immensely roasted flavours its also hopadoodletastic, very, very nice.

Nice dark brown color, medium brown head. Distinct coffee aroma. A little coffee, and alot of bitterness in the taste, not what I expected at all. a little smokey in the finish, nice beer, but not great.

Dark brown, malty, woody, burnt, grainy, dry starts out ok but finishes strange.

Discount liquor, Milwaukee 10$ , Just a all around disappointment. Sure it has hops, so what. A lot of beers have hops beyond that its just a average micro brew brown beer. I will take a Rouge hazelnut brown any day over this one, and it is half the price for almost twice as much.
