Simple as that... a seriously great beer! I love brown ales, and this is undoubtably my fave. I sat and watched jackie brown whilst drinking this, and the only bad bit was having to get up to turn the DVD over (yeah, I know, how old!) This beer is has so many varied notes - the standard roasty/toasty bits, even smoke! I love the finish! Ate some cheese with, an aged gruyere... went well! sayravai (3729), Helsinki, Finland
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 14, 2007 (Bottled) Hazy, very dark reddish brown color with a smallish, but creamy and lacy head. Very smooth and pleasant aroma of coffee, dark malts and hints of chocolate. Also some smokiness. The aroma is actually quite Imperial stoutish, and feels a lot stronger than the ABV - in a positive way. Espresso-chocolatey, very smoothly roasty flavor with a dryish, bitter finish. Medium to full-bodied, dryish and slightly ashy palate with soft carbonation. A very pleasant, extremely well-balanced brew - a true gem! goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 19, 2007 Poured a clear dark chestnut color with a medium sized beige head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of coffee, hops, and chocolate cookies. Roasted malt flavor that was semi-sweet and short. Very dry finish with a moderate bitterness and maybe a hint of pine. The bitterness at the end was very long and kept growing. stouby (1937), Holbaek, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Acquired via trade from Maria-A great suprise! What a complex beer this is! Pour was a dark brown with a thin white ring for a head with decent lacing. The aroma was floral hops. The taste started bitter and hoppy but by swallow hints of roasted malt and coffee took over. The aftertaste was like a dry iced tea. Awesome! kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 17, 2007 22 oz bottle, via henrikb. Pours a clear chestnut brown body under a small foamy beige head that receded to a thin covering. Aroma is nutty and toasted malt with a slight graininess. Some light chocolate, roast, and coffee notes as well. Flavor is pretty robust for a Brown Ale. Nicely nutty with lots of toasted and lightly roasted malt. Finishes a little harsh and grainy with moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, grainy in texture, with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was pretty flavorful for a Brown Ale, but the finish was a little bit of a turn-off. sfhodense (554), Odense NØ, Denmark
