Jul 25, 2007 Bottle (650ml). Shared with biegaman and blankboy, my bottle. Deep mahogany pour, clear, smallish frothy beige head. Aroma - first impression, dry, nutty, dark chocolate, low-level dry resin hops - really good, made me look forward to the taste. And the taste - yummmmm - lush dry green resin hops, dry cocoa and nutshell malt, no alcohol presence - has a long, dry, bitter finish - lovely. Average body, astringent, long, long bitter nutshell linger. Bloody freakin’ marvelous!

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. Thin brownish head over a dark brown opaque body. Aroma is very hoppy; grapefruit and pine. Also dry roasted malts and and coffee-beans. Dry malts, bitter chocolate, espresso and a good amount of bittering hops in the flavor. Salty notes. Medium body. Roasty and bitter finish. A powerful Brown ale... smells like an IPA and taste like a Dry Stout.

Jul 20, 2007 (Bottle) Dark reddish brown colour with huge, foamy beige head. Malty nose dominated by chocolate, with notes of caramel, roasted nuts and citrussy hops. Roasted, malty taste with chocolate, caramel, coffee, liquorice and loads of citrussy, grapefruity hops in the finish. Lots of bitter chocolate and unsweetened cocoa in the finish. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, mainly dry. Great beer, one of the best brown ales around.

Jul 17, 2007 <#300>Dark brown look, with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted chocolate malts and a nice hob blend, like a roasted malt ipa...or something. Flavor is mainly bitter. A mix between the raw chocolate, and the hobs. Has a medium bodie, which makes it alot more drinkable than a stout, and of course the powerfull hob profile makes it more fresh and interesting than the standard brown ale. Holds a resemblance to the american brown ales. I find the palate quite oily, though not as thich - but very smooth. The chocolate follows nicely into the aftertaste.

Jul 16, 2007 A brown ale with lots of taste and bit. Like the chocolate and the roasted malty taste. The aftertaste of the hops works very well

Jun 28, 2007 Thanks to Papsoe for this brew. Pours out a darker shade of brown with an off white head. Aroma of nuts, chocolate, coffee and slight bitterness. Flavor is very complex with roasty/nutty flavors in the forefront, coffee in the background and a slight bitter finish. Man I wish this stuff was easier to get in the USA
