Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is roasty malts and fruity hops. The flavor is roasty and toasty malts with a light floral hop presence. I am not much of a fan of the style but this was surprisingly tasty.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright bronze color with a medium sized yellow-tan head. The aroma is sweet, nutty and has a moderate floral and fruity hop presence. The flavor is crisp fruity hops followed by a tangy and nutty malt base with a bitter hoppy finish. Pleasant.

Pours deep amber with tan head. The aroma has the roasted, sweet molasses and coffee of a similar stout but also that glass of milk smell of the milk stout. The flavor hunts you down from both the sweet molasses and toffee notes to the deep roasted to burnt malts. The palate seems a bit on the thin side. Somewhere hidden in the aftertaste I sense a lactose-ness that swirls around briefly. There are some hops in there too but I’m struggling to make them out.

Orange to copper color with nice tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts. Flavor is a little one dimensional with sweet caramel maltiness. There’s also some pale malts and a hint of maybe citrus hops.

Slightly murky orange color with thin off white head. A rather full malt aroma of pale, grain and biscuit malts. Solid malt flavors coming from caramel, lightly roasted malts, pale malts and grain like malts. There seems to be a load of non-fermentable sweet and grainy malt sugars. The grain malts are so grainy there’s almost a husk grittiness left behind in the aftertaste. The maltiness actually seems to grow stronger as time passes. Hops are just barely noticeable and play a minor role.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear ruby, average head. Aroma of sweaty hops and roasty malt. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. The roasty malt dominates the picture, with apricots and soapy hops simmering on top. A pleasant enough brown ale, well above average.
