Overall, a fair representation of the style. Not a bad session beer for something heavier than pilsner but still ight overall.

Tastes like a porter, with burnt, coffee flavors. Rather light on flavor but has an aftertaste that i didnt like too much. I’d rather have another shipyard or have a porter from another beer company.

The aroma has toasted malt, nuts, caramel, yeast, toffee, chocolate, and hops. The appearance is light brown with a moderately sized head. The flavor has the elements from the aroma and a touch of chocolate at the end. The palate is a little thin. This beer is crisp and bitter which is unusual for a brown ale but it’s not a bad quality. But what I really like about this beer is the chocolate that is most evident in the finish.

Bottle at Monk s cafe, Stockholm. Amber, ok offwhite head. Fruity, malty aroma. A bit sourish flavor, nice balanced hops, some grass and some malty notes. A bit hoppy in the finish.

Purchased at the brewery. Bottle Best before 12/06...yeah i guess it was fresh. :) Flavor is sweet malty, with a bit of caramel. This is your typical brown, albeit a bit better than average i’d say, but only a bit. Really malty, better than the brewer’s choice crap they sell.

12 oz. bottle, Best Enjoyed Before 9/05. Purchased by a friend as part of the World Market "Beers Of America" 10-pack for my 30th birthday...Pours a semi sparkling light ruby/brown with an averaged sized creamy off-white head that lasted a good while...Heavy caramel and molasses malts with light perfume hops. Has a definite buttery taste too...Full bodied and creamy with soft carbonation and a nutty finish...Very sweet chocolate with a slightly bitter butterscotch flavor coming through near the end...Overall, a great session ale. Reminds me of liquid chocolate waffles with topped with smooth maple syrup. Very nice finish, very nice beer...

pours a medium browm color with a nice white head. The aroma is strong of malt with a hint of flowery hops. The beer is brown on the top and tan on the bottom of the glass. The flavor is of sweet malt, with a touch of bitterness with notes maple syrup. Has an especially matly after taste. Over all I really like this brown ale. It is the first brown ale that I have really liked
