Oct 26, 2009 Thanks to MatSciGuy. Pour is deep dark brown with a medium light brown head. Aroma is roasted caramel malt, light chocolate, light coffee, earthy, and brown sugar. Flavor is crisp cookie malt with a a nice balance of sweetness and roasty bitterness. Notes off coffee and vanilla linger. Very easy to drink fuller bodied beer.

Oct 21, 2009 Can from allendodd. Thanks loads! Pours a very dark brown with a foamy tan head. Aromas of chocolate and treacle. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavors of citrus/resin over nicely roasted malt. Treacle too. Very smooth brown ale. But with lots of flavor. Finishes with a nice level of bitter on the rear tongue edges. Good beer.

Oct 15, 2009 Sample at Brewnosers’ meeting April 2008. Brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. Chocolate, citrus, coffee, and molasses aroma. Chocolate, bready, earthy, and coffee flavours with a citrus and piny bitter finish, medium bodied, rich, and lightly chewy but refreshing.

Oct 11, 2009 Can - Pours mahogany with a nice creamy tan head that’s gone pretty quickly. Lots of sweet malt in the nose, giving off caramel, vanilla, raisins, and just a touch of alcohol. Taste isn’t quite as good out of the can as I remember on tap. It’s sour and milky and finishes with some bitter chocolate, coffee, and hops. A little watery, but with enough body to still feel a little creamy. Not my favorite Surly brew, but still very solid.
