OliverG (83), montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 4, 2009 Classique brown ale de bonne qualité. Très moelleuse, elle offre des saveurs de noisettes, de chocolat et quelques effluves de café. Évidemment très malté, elle est douce et facile à boire. PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England May 27, 2009 Truly deep brown, lovely big beige head. Surprsingly hoppy, though still very light on the nose. Light roasted malt notes also. In the mouth the hops are still apparent. VEry floral and tingly. Great deep, powdery chocolate and almost burnt topnotes. Very nice, deep & ashy roast. A really nice beer gives a great depth of flavour whilst remaining highly drinkable. Love it. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA May 25, 2009 pours dark brown, thick off whtie head and frothy lacing.
Aroma of toasted malts, coffee, dark malts.
Taste, some bitter hops, light coffee notes and malts, chocolate malts with nice toasted palate.
Coffee was not too upfront.
Beer had a light yeasty haze floating around that added to the bitterness that was overly present. EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA May 25, 2009 Clear, dark brown, thick tan head. Immediate aroma of burnt bones and toasted marshmellows. Smokey flavor, roasted grains and malt, nice bitter hops, grass, sharp coffee. Just a tad thin with a nice lingering grass on the tongue.
