Dark brown, slightly red edges with a thin head. Coffee aroma with a bit of a Lysol effect. Sweet oats up front. Definitely some chocolate, nut, caramel and vanilla flavors. Slightly dry finish with a bit of hops. Very rockin. gunnfryd (3601), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Can courtesy of oakbluff. Pours a very bubbly dark orange-brown with a large mostly-lasting creamy tan head. Semi-sweet aroma of dark malt, nuts, cocoa, oats and very light hops. Flavour of caramel malt, nuts, a bit of chocolate, more hops then the aroma suggests and an average bitter finish. Medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Very nice, this went down easily and quickly -- one of the best Brown Ales I’ve ever had. KnutAlbert (3199), Oslo, Norway

Re-rate from another can. I was getting enough different out of this second time around for this beer so I figured I better re-rate. Pours a deep brown with chestnut notes and a smaller bubbly/creamy lighter tan head that left some spotty lacing. Aroma of chocolate, lightly roasted malt, nuts, citrus notes from teh fresh American hops, cocoa and light coffee. Flavor of the same lightly roasty, chocolate, nutty, some coffee and yes...lots of hops! TheBeerGod (3163), Newport News, Virginia, USA
