May 21, 2008 500mL bottle, no date. Clear ruby brown with one finger beige head, fair retention. Aroma is full of toasted grain and toasty hazelnuts--not sweet hazelnut extract like Rogue Hazelnut Brown--with some light vanilla and roasted grain in the background. Flavor has even more roast than the aroma had led on, with some added piney hops. The nuts and toasted grain is still there, but seems to take a bit of a backseat. Bone dry finish with some lingering bitterness peaking around a 3-4. Moderate carbonation that’s creamy and prickly with a light to medium body. This turned out to be pretty tasty, and a not so run-of-the-mill brown ale.

May 16, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown with ruby hints and a good sized mocha head. Aroma is rich and roasty, with great notes of coffee and chocolate, and a surprising hit of hops. Flavour follows the aroma, with some nice nuttiness coming through before the hops kick in. Seems to be bordering on being a porter, which is fine by me. Great stuff!

May 12, 2008 Bottle: Brown pour with an amber hue and a thick dense tan head. Fairly hoppy in the nose along with nutty caramel (but not sweet) Nice and inviting. Body is fluffy, but does have a sharp carbonation. Could use less carbonation. Pretty dry flavor. Dark nut hints, a bit ashy. There’s some American hop notes giving a very subtle fruity undertone. The finish is long and has lots of bitterness which is mildly ashy. A pretty solid Brown Ale.

May 11, 2008 Flaske. Superdejlig brown ale. Stor duft af humle, og en flot brun farve med dejlige indbydende bobler i skummet. Dejlig balanceret smag der gør den fantastisk drikbar.

May 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown, touch of red with a tan head. Aroma is a roasted chocolate, almost burnt quality to it. Flavor hits you with some hops and then again with the roasted malt. Finish is a bit more bitter than I expected, probably due to the burnt quality that was present througout.
