| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Deep brown in colour with a long lasting beige coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is malty, roasty, some chocolate, nuts, a bit dusty, lightly sweet. The flavour is of roasted malts, toasty, chocolate, some coffee, moderate sweetness. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, some light bitterness but a bit more on the sweet side.
This was tasty for sure, very nice roast for a brown ale. This just goes to show that an everyday type of beer can have lots of flavour and be quite enjoyable.

Pours dark brown/maroon with a beige lasting head. Smell is toasty, nutty mildly sweet with maybe a light smattering of coffe. Taste is fairly bitter for a brown and is nicely malty and nutty without being sweet or overly simple. Medium body with a fair amount of carbonation. Actually fairly hoppy in the finish. Nice beer.
