750 thanks to big D. Pours a deep brown color with a medium beige head. The aroma is chocolate, some roast and nutty notes. The flavor is earthy, smoky, some light cocoa, some fruity hops. Very big flavors and super drinkable.

Bottle sample at a Stone Vertical Epic tasting at Mastikim. Thanks kerenmk. Dark brown. Infected aroma with some fruits, vinegar, and olives notes and a bit of malt. Sourish flavor with fruits, infection, malt and caramel. Medium-bodied. Not really horrible, but definitely spoiled.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Buy Rite, 8/18/12
Aroma: The nose is roasted malts, nuts, sweet/caramel malts, and a bit of earthiness
Appearance: The pour is a dark brown color with a foamy beige head and some light lace
Flavor: The taste is a nice balance of roasted/nutty and sweet malts, with an underlying earthy hop
Palate: The body is medium, with a soft carbonation, and a smooth creamy feel on the mouth
Overall Impression: Overall, this was a very nice offering. I've pretty much enjoyed all of the beers from the Exit series, and this was another very nice one. I'd like to get a hold the 3rd one (Exit 1), and finish off the existing one's from the series, and I'm excited to try the future offerings from this series.

Why is this listed as a brown ale? - sure it says "brown ale" on the label, but it clear states "Belgian style brown ale" - this is a Belgian strong ale, people! - pour is a dark ruby - soapy, sticky lace - aroma of chestnut, raisin, toffee, prune, earthy honey - low carbonation - smooth in the mouth - the chestnut and honey are apparent in the flavor, but settle in and balance with other notes of raisin, toffee, prune - light acidity and mild roast and bitterness on the tail end - tasty and balanced.

750 bottle-pours mahogany and a cascading tight retaining tan head that laces. Aroma is roasty/cocoa-medium/dark malt, nutty, earthy. Taste is sweet roasty/cocoa/slight root licorice-medium/dark malt, nutty, earthy/spice hops. A bit earthier and roastier than my taste but nicely done.

Bottle. Pours murky dark brown with tan/off white head. Nose/taste of almond and chestnut extracts, raisins, dark fruits, honey, sweet malt and caramel. Initially sweet dark fruits on the palate morph into a lightly roasted nut character in the finish. Some honey booze in back end. Medium body.

Pours a solid dark brown color with a smallish brown head that shows moderate retention. Smells of caramel, chocolate, a bit nutty with little to no hop presence. Taste is sweet and malty with a caramel earthy chocolate flavor to it. Medium body and carbonation level with a sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. Nice brown ale with a nutty edge. I’m glad I got to try this.
