May 14, 2006 Sampled next to the coffee bender. Dark opaque brown colour with small head. Not a huge beer, but a pretty good brown. There’s a bit of chocolatyness in both aroma and flavour. I’m glad to see this going all over as it would be a great choice next to the typical beers in the area.

Apr 30, 2008 On draft at Hopleaf. Pours a dark brown with a frothy head. Very roasted aroma with maybe some cocoa. Taste is roasted malt with some chocolate. The hops come through nicely in the finish.

Jun 23, 2008 Can. Sweet nose with coffee, chocolate, and toffee. Reddish brown with dark brown head. Quite thin with lots of caramel sweetness and a touch of chocolate. Opens thin but finishes very smooth and thickens out a touch towards the end. Very nice for the style.

Apr 2, 2008 big heavy malt flalavors and aromas. a delicious hop bitterness reaally adds to an otherwise extremely roasty nutty brew.

Jan 18, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008Tap @ Hopleaf, this is a re-rate sort of! Thought I had the bender a month ago, actually was the Surly Bitter. This brew was nice, one of the best brown ales I have had. Dark creamy porter like beer with some but faint head. Aroma of nuts, cocoa, coffee, creams, and malts. Not as hoppy as expected but nice balance of all the other flavors. Great palate and nice aftertaste. This one was a lot better than bitter.

Jul 18, 2007 Now this is a first...canned. A nice gift from jarspag. Aroma is a little hard to pick up, but the carbonation lifts a nice bittering hops smell with a nutty malt scent. Mostly toffee and cream in the flavor with a nut-brown background complimented by the obvious oats. Quite carbonated, finishes crisp and hoppy on the palate, very easy to drink. Reminds me of a Newcastle on steroids.
