bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Jul 1, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a dark mahogany body with a medium creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roastiness, and light citrus. Flavor of roasted malt, hops, and cocoa. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Jul 1, 2007 Bottle at home ... and my first mild disapointment from Mikkeller ... Deep red brown ... roastmalt nose .. lotsoffizz little raw alcohol ... lots and lots of bitter hop linger ... some roast coffee way too bitter for me. pineypower (1075), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA 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 Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada Jun 21, 2007 Robe brune surmontée d’une mousse beige épaisse qui s’estompe. Arômes de noisettes, de café et de caramel. Saveurs de noisettes, de caramel, de café et de houblon amérisant herbacé. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Jun 20, 2007 This brown ale pours a medium brown color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is nutty, maple sugar and sweet. A medium bodied brown ale. Malts are nutty and roasty, but not very sweet. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Very unlike a brown ale, its not very sweet and has an exceptional crisp and dry finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. pilsnerrogge (1769), Finspång, Sweden Jun 20, 2007 [bottle] Dark reddish brown. Medium head. Malty chocolate aroma with notes of hops. Roasted chocolate flavour which soon gets washed away by a wave of hops. Interesting, but maybe not a total success. Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA Jun 20, 2007 Pours with a dark brown body with red tinting, topped by an off-white, thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a little fruit and a nice raosty bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied and slightly dry. Boutip (2332), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 19, 2007 Bottle: Poured a medium clear brown color ale with a medium slightly off-white foamy head with better then average retention. Aroma of medium coffee with light nutty malt. Taste of coffee is domination but not overpowering with some light and subtle nutty malt notes. Body is lighter then expected with some adequate carbonation. Overall, I would say this is an interesting take on a usually boring style.
