Draught at BrewDog Milton Keynes. Shared with Finn. A fawn-coloured head over a deep dark brown body, dotted spots on the glass. Aroma of brown malts. mid-sweet. Caramel malty flavours with a touch of semi-tart fruits. Ends malt-fruity, slightly tart. So and so. (12.02.2019).

Can from BD. It pours clear deep mahogany brown with a medium light tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, caramel, cocoa, tangy dried fruit, fruit cake, berry skin and some toasty malt. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, chewy, toothy malt, toasty, roasted malt, toasted nut, fruit cake, warming alcohol, bit of spice, caramel and coffee grounds with a soft, sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty alright actually.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/15/2016. Pours lightly hazy deep reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light cocoa/coffee, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light cocoa/coffee, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light cocoa/coffee, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light dryness from hop/roast bitterness that lightly increases through the glass. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a very nice brown ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
