Brown ale isn’t really my style, but i still liked this beer. Nice taste and nice mouthfeel. Colour isn’t my favorite but still fine.

Draft. A hazy red beer with a yellow head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, hops, spices, and malt, leading to a very bitter finish.

My favorite beer from New Zealand. Too bad it’s quite hard to get a bottle of these. Great IPA. I think we got this bottle from De Molen.

From tap at MikkellerBar. Pours hazy dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma is dense fruity and dark malty. Pinewood hoppy too. Dense malty and pinewood solid hoppy flavoured. Bone dry and bitter into the finish. Ends solid bitter.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours black with a beige head that didn’t last. Light bacon smoke aroma. Flavor is relatively light - smoke - but something of non-bitter hop as well. I can imagine chocolate in this. Very nice flavor.

Bottled from de Molen. Slight hazy amber color, medium off-white head. Soft floral hoppy aroma, bit citrus, nelson sauvin, slight tropical fruit, hint of biscuit. Hint of sweetness in taste, mostly bitter, slight grainy, white wine. Quite dryish bitter palate, but not crisp, more fruity.

Der fruchtige Hopfengeruch findet sich im Antrunk mit einer Herbe auf gleicher Intensitätsstufe wider. Der Hopfen ist dabei sicherlich der interessantere Part, neben grasigen Noten ist eine Reihe von fruchtigen Komponenten vorhanden, Orange, etwas Zitrus, daneben wenig Beeren. Die Bitterkeit steigt nun während die Hopfenintensität gleich bleibt. Im Abgang ist die Herbe am stärksten, Hopfen und Bitterkeit halten sich die Waage.ausgewogenes Finish wobei der Hopfen ruhig noch etwas intensiver sein dürfte. 9/9/8/9/13/9

Erstaunlich hopfiger Antrunk, in dem das Malz vorerst nur eine Nebenrolle spielt, sich aber schnell in den Mittelteil stellt. Der Hopfen ist dabei weiter mit blumigen Noten präsent. Wenig nach Zitrus, ausgewogen hopfig-malzig. Zum Ende nimmt der Hopfen das Zepter wieder in die Hand, das Malz ist nun untertönig und bietet erdige Noten. Trockener Abgang. 11/11/11/12/11/11

Bottle. Viscous pour. Black with a coat of tan head that soon disappears. Modest but intense aroma with burnt malt, coffee, caramel, blackcurrants, alcohol. Oily texture. Sweet and full of chocolate and coffee with roasted flavours supporting. Some dark fruit, some astringency. Bitterness doesn’t quite overcome the thick sweet flavours but it’s there. Nice carbonation level helps make it very drinkable. It’s a big, rich and perfectly sound stout that just didn’t seem to have anything much to say. [7 2 7 3 14] Bottle. Black with a good inch of tan head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of singed malt, mocha, molasses - smells both a bit burnt and sweet. Oily but not a lot of body for 10%. Mocha and somewhat syrupy sweetness, decently bitter and slightly astringent finish. No real bottom end. Burnt flavours only somewhat masked by sweetness and bitterness. Expected to want to disown my previous rating but this one is for others.

(bottle) Pitch-black coloured hue with a beige medium-sized foamy and stable head. Roast-malty and slightly leathery and subtle fruity aroma with notes of chocolate, vanilla and shy traces of smoke. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderately roasty malty taste with leather, chocolate, a subtle fruity touch and shades of smoke malt towards the bitter and slightly sweet finish including a lasting aftertaste of chocolate and vanilla. Pleasant but a tad thin. 11.V.11
