On tap at the brewpub. A lightly hazy dark brown beer with a dense, finger thick beige head. The aroma is roasted and nutty, with a good dash of citrusy, piney hops. Some toffee and nuts in the flavor, caramel hints, roasted malts and citrusy, piney hops in the flavor. Quite a lot of bitterness too. Full body, quite dry and soft on the palate. Lasting roasted finish with the hops dominating. Sure a fine brown ale, love the American citrusy hop pellets flavor in the very end. 141219

Bottle, 25cl. It pours an oily, flat, brown body without head. The aroma has lots of chocolate and dried fruits, with a boozy touch, caramel, prunes, dried figs, dark sugar notes, rum, some licorice and a leathery touch. It’s full-bodied and warming on the palate, with quite a lot of sweetness. Lots of flavors too, dark sugar, leather, molasses, rum, dried figs and a touch of licorice. Definitely a tasteful one, a sipper that hides the alcohol very well. Is it really at 24%? Don’t know, but it’s sure a strong one. Nice. 141213
