Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of byaeger. Bottle # 1168/3708. Pours a dark brown with a vague tint of red. Hard roasted malt and a whiff of smoke. Solid body, hard roasted malt, some dried dark fruits and licorice. Some underlying sweetness though. The finish is a little harsh and roughly bitter. 270310

Big thanks to Bavarian Purity for this mild enjoyable nut brown. Smell is laid back. First taste is a little smoky. Rather smooth and friendly. Darker brown in color. Good sizzle on the palte. Easy to drink with a whispy finish. Much better than many recent nut brown ales I’ve had.

Bottle. Poured a hazy straw color. Moderate quickly dissipating head. Yeast, citrus and ripe banana aroma. Thin carbonated palate. Flavor was bread, spice, and slightly bitter. Drinkable, but not exceptional.

Bottle. Black brown with small tan head. Molasses caramel flavor. I thought I detected a slight hint of spice, but I think it was really a carbonation tingle. Tastes of roasted malt, coffe, and a light burnt finish.

12oz bottle pours clear mahogany with short lived tan to dark tan head. The aroma has a brief pulse of roasty to burnt malts then it moves toward solid dark fruity esters. The taste is pretty smooth and sweet with a thin layer of dark fruitiness from sort of dark grapes, sherry and prunes amid sweet malts. It ends with a bit of dark roasted malts heading toward faint burnt malts that dry it out some into the finish.

Bottled@omhper. Hazy deep orangeish amber colour with small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some herbs as well as spices. Also some mild notes of alcohol. Flavour is fruits, toffee, alcohol, quite strong on the hoppyness as well. Also mild spicyness lurking in it and together with alcohol giving a slight burn in the finish.

Bottled, thanks Cletus! Hazy copper colour, small head. Peppery nose. Swee with near full body. Fruity crystal malt forms a rounded body. White pepper is arguably the most noteworthy flavour. Fairly low bitterness. A potent beer where they don’t hide behind massive amounts of hops. No masterpiece perhaps, but well made and pleasant.

10th October 2008. GABF. I must of had the lite version as it was clocking in at a mere 10.0% abv! Hazy brown beer.Champagne crisp palate. Plenty of raspberry - finishes slightly bitter, still with that champagne crispness and dryness and with yet more raspberry.
