Mar 22, 2009 Bottle. Tasted at Ulkløbben.
Dark brown with beige head.
Good nose of sweet charamel and nuts. A little creamy. Good brown ale, but after smoke beer and beer geek brunch it is nothing special.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle, The Rake, London. Big ups for naming this after a top movie...’Poured a murky brown colour with a creamy biege head..Great aroma with hops, caramel, roasted coffee bean, chocolate and hazlenut all jostling for position..These themes continue on, with a further big hit of roasted coffee in the flavour, but it works really well with some great hoppage mixing with the roasted mal to give it wonderful balancet. Lip smackin’, long dry bitter finish. Very good stuff indeed.

Mar 13, 2009 Bottled: Huge foamy, off-white head, dark brown color. Aroma with intensive notes of oat, roasted malt, toffee, light hints of chocolate and some coffee. Taste is light malty with caramel notes, roast bitter, fruity with notes of citrus and a coffee and roasted malt bitterness. Intensive bitter hop notes in the end, very dry biter finish.

Mar 9, 2009 Pours a brilliant brownish amber color with a puffy off-white head. Notes of weak coffee, bitter chocolate, licorice, and some caramel. Mouthfeel is rather thin and the taste is one dimensional. Over all just ok. Brown ales are generally not my thing.

Mar 7, 2009 Pours a thin yet dark brown color with a fluffy, off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus hops. Taste is a little dark bitter chocolate, coffee, grapefruit, and ash. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Nice lacing too. Plenty of bitter hoppiness in the back of the throat - more than expected for a brown ale. Very enjoyable.

Mar 6, 2009 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Bottle. Pours hazy deep reddish brown with a nice frothy tan head. Aroma is toasted oats, almonds, chocolate, and citrusy hops. Taste adds coffee and a little bit of licorice. Medium body, slightly creamy. Finish is bitter coffee and hops, but a biscuity taste lingers after a while.
