Sigmund (14587) reviewed Brick Mark from Salikatt Bryggeri 3 months ago
Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
440 ml can, as Salikatt Brick Mark Chocolate Brown Ale, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. ABV is 7.5%. Very dark brown to black colour, large to moderate off-white to beige head. Aroma of roast malts, mild coffee and cocoa. Flavour with the same elements, also some caramel, but not too sweet. Moderate hops. This is more of a brown porter than a brown ale in my book, but who cares, as long as it tastes good?
