(Bottle 50 cl) Dark brown with an orangey glow and a small, beige head. Very discreet aroma, perhaps a touch of roasted malt. Very thin and watery body. Starts somewhat smoked, vaguely coffeeish with some roasted malt, but it’s all gone in no time. No real hops. Quite unusual. 170406

Now this is a beutiful blue bottle - if it was the appearance of the bottle I had to rate - I’d give it 5! But since it is the beer when poured is a very dark brown beer with a slight red shine and only a rim of brown head along the side of the glass it only gets a 3. The aroma is very lightly roasted and the flavor is also lightly roasted combined with notes of wood, which leaves You with a very dry end. Besides the light nose and flavor, the body is thin. Give me more power.

OK, so you don’t have to be English to make a boring and watery brown ale! Pours a dark brown that is almost opaque, virtually no head and no effervescence. Aroma is forward with a bit of chocolate and coffee, and a touch of floral and spicy hops. Actually it’s not a bad aroma. Flavor is similar, with a stronger emphasis on the bittersweet chocolate. Lightly metallic. Quickly transitions into a bitter finish without a middle to carry the malts into the finish. Very watery palate, very lacking in carbonation, so it’s pretty dead in the mouth.
