Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 4, 2007 Courtesy of after4ever and shared with after4ever and bitbucket. Pours a clear deep dark brown with frothy off white head. The aroma is roasted malts mixed with brown sugar and mild caramel. It then moves more roasty and burnt as opposed to sweet. The taste is smooth and starts with roasted malts along with a mild malt astringency. It then becomes mildly sweet but with even more roasted malts than the early part of the taste. Into the finish I get more malt astringency that is just right for the style. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 4, 2007 660. Thanks, Maria! Opaque mahogany with rubied, luminescent highlights. Dense, moussy, bubbly off-white head. Not much lace. Rich peppery toasted brown bread nose. Medium body with soft, tightly carbed attack. Rich molasses and sharp salty cat litter mid-palate. Long peppery finish. Awesome brown. motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic Oct 21, 2007 rbesg07, bottled. deep brown, steady head, mocha aroma, pleasant cocoa powder and coffee flavours with a hint of all spice and plenty of bitterness yespr (11645), Copenhagen O, Denmark Oct 19, 2007 66 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown/amber with a light brown and dense head. The foam is leaving nice lacework on the glass as the glass is being emptied. Fruity and slight malty aroma with a minor woody note. Flavour starts fruity from the hops before the smooth chocolate malt takes over. Soon after this a more roasted malt profile turns up and way is given to a slight coffee note. Not much time is granted before a strong bitterness is breaking the malt flavours. A nice blend of malt and hops keeps lingering into the rather dry finish. beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 8, 2007 Pours a clear, reddish brown color with a thick beige head. Good aroma of nuts, malt and hops. Good flavor of nuts, malt and hops with a bitter finish. The body is medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. dmac (1420), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Oct 5, 2007 Bottle shared above DDC.
