Deep brown pour, small white head. Sweet, bready aroma, light nutiness, and some dark fruits. Flavour is quite sweet, almost cloying. Light bitterness with a mildly fruity finish with little evidence of the indicated ingredients. Quite boozy and way too sweet. Not my bag.

Can at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma of malt, caramel, nuts, some dark fruity notes, hint of smoke, hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Medium bodied. Certainly an enjoyable Brown Ale, but where’s the bacon I was promised?

Can at home. Aroma is strong floral and herbal, spicy lavender, grainy malt, hint of fruits and a touch of caramel. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Not bad at all, very strong floral and herbal with a surprisingly bitter flavour.

Notes from January 2011 Tossed this into the pile when I was one short of a six of shit ciders I've yet to try. It's a hobby of mine. :) Gouden Carolus goblet. No BB date, no rust, all good. Sandy caked head, muddy orange/brown body. I upset some protein at the end. My bad. Smell is a bit lemon wood polish, resiny DIPA, whiskey sour, & aloe. I sort of knew what was coming, but it's still a bit odd. Upfront tang, bitter peel, heavy coriander. Too much coriander without a comparable malt base. Big herbal bitters. Malt is overshadowed. Bland yeasty middle. Subtly sweet rind & coriander on the finish. Bit of a metallic note. Ugly alcohol. Frothy throughout. Though not harsh, it's distracting. It's beaded really well, but not what I need. Obvious ABV. It hurts. I could of handled more lime I think. Not enough quality lime beers out there. Don't be shy.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours dark copper with a beige/tan head. Aroma of citrus with a bit of spice. Med body or so. Flavor is roasty malt, something like green tea and cinnamon or similar. Not bad. Makes a change.

Can. Pours clear brown with a smal offwhite head. Aroma is malty, hoppy, light caramel fudgey thing going on. Taste is more smokey, toasted malts, caramel, malt.
