Flaske delt med Rune, Odd Gunnar og Asle Bjørn etter bokpresentasjon på Cardinal: lys brunlig rav med kort beige skum. Aroma av ristet brød, smør, pianøtter og noe surt (AB sier grønnsakbuljong, og det er en god kommentar). Tørr, kompleks og bitter smak med tørkede frukter og nøtter - altså peanøtter. Fra fat på Mi2, Cardinal aug-15: brunrød med ok skum. Aroma og smak har tydelig preg av peanøtter med skall. Litt pussig, men absolutt drikkbar. Beholder ratingen fra flaskeutgaven.

Clear brown dark caramel colour, white head. Aroma of caramel, light peanut, malts. Sweet flavour, caramel, malts, light peanut. Sweet caramel finish, malts. Quite interesting.
(From 50cL bottle @ ElManana’s Massaman Chili tasting, Gent. Thanks for sharing, tderoeck!)

500ml bottle kindly shared by the RBHD crew at Cardinal in Stavanger. Bubbly beige head on top of a hazy brown body. Dotted spots on the glass. Nuts and caramel on the nose. Flavoured with buttery nuts, earth, and caramel. Dry mid-sweet ending. Something else that works quite well together (18.06.2015).

Clear red brown to deep reddish beer, creamy big beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, sweet. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: chocolate, roasted, cookies, bitter hops, bit herbal, slightly sour, caramel. Aftertaste: hoppy, some vanilla, sweet touch, caramel, crème brûlée, some lactose even, little nutty.

Nice brown pour with a fine tan head. Bready and some roasted notes. Medium (+) body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Roasted, bready, mild fruity and toffee flavor. A really nice and tasty brown ale.
[On tap at Nedre Foss Gård in Oslo, Norway]

500ml bottle. Hazy brown colour little or no head. Nutty aroma malts and butter. Taste nuts and sweet butteriness and dried fruit.

On tap. @El Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo 10/05/2015. Color marrón, Aroma maltoso, cuerpo medio.

Cask at the Victoria, Birmingham. Firstly, let me say that at 7 Pounds 50p a pint, this had better be good! I was disappointed. Poured a clear medium brown with a frothy round head. The aroma is nutty malt. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet with a light yeast, light malt chocolate nut palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. An average brown ale at best and not a patch on the Rogue Hazelnut Brown, but if this is what Thornbridge are charging for their ales now they will have a rude awakening very soon! The bar staff did their best to talk it up. I’d like to say that drinking this left a bitter taste in my mouth, but it didn’t and the taste it did leave was uber costly. I have marked this beer down for the sheer cheek of thinking its worth 7 Pounds 50p a pint! Jeez... It’s cheaper drinking Thornbidge beers in Malaysia!

500 ml bottle @ Cardinal. Almost clear amber body with a big, lacing off-white head. Aroma has a lot of peanuts but also good malt. Flavor is medium sweet malt, not so much chocolate, some light toast and definitively peanuts, nice salty peanuts actually in a very balanced way. Medium body and nice aftertaste with salty peanuts. I just love this one.
