Commercial Description:
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

Pours a clear brown with a 1/4" off white head that disappears really quickly. Very spotty lacing. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, and very light malts. Flavors of roasted malts, slight coffee, and chocolate. Very thin body beer.

The Fonefan/Brugmansia Cnudde tasting. Courtesy of Papsoe. Red-brown with notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, a roasted bitterness, hints of coffee and chocolate, hints of flower and nuts and some grapefruit, that makes it rather dry. The overall impression is somewhat thin, and even if a BA is one of the lighter beers, I still prefer them to be smooth, round and pleasant, not edgy like this one.

Very good. I can only find it a few places in San Diego, but I when I do I buy everything they have. This is like a Newcastle on Black Tar Heroin. Extremely good beer. Starts nice, finishes with a nap.

Bottle. Rich roasted nutty brown malt aroma. Maybe with hints of coffee and chocolate. Suggestive of a porter, somewhat. Deep brown color with a white ring for head. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor definitely has chocolate, dark roasted nutty malt, and an underlying slight bit of sour. Finish is rather dry, and has a bit of hop. Seems like a mix of a coarse American brown ale and a smooth porter. Very nice drink.

On draft at Hamilton’s Tavern, rich coffee type hue with thin brown head. Light roasted malts lead to a sweeping warm hop, very deep roasting/chewy nut layer. Mild abv. with a sweet quick finish. A perfect accopanyment to my bar nuts and leftover enchilada flavored cheetos~
