Buttery barley-roasted caramel malting saddles delicate yeast sinew and mild tea backdrop. Ticklish spice hop fizz simmers to almond wine seduction. On tap, silken nut-spiced subtleties combine better for more relaxed elegance and near perfect rating.

More like ‘hop-rageous’ with its heavily carbonated mouth-filling fizz, frothy tan head, sharp bite, and residual nuttiness. Floral hops disguise faded chocolate bitterness at depleted caramel-dipped finish.

Reminiscent of a tawdry porter, this needs better distinction, more creaminess, and less oiliness. Dry tobacco befits roasted chocolate malting and meager nuttiness, but little else emerges to add exigent bulk.

Bold, assertive, fluffy tan-headed brown ale with 9% alcohol depth offers chewy barleywine essence, buttery malt flow, and dried-fruited plum-prune-date assist. Busy soda fizz contrasts sour yeast sinew judiciously consuming bitter hop spicing ’til wee heavy toffee finish gains control.

Soft malt caress weaves through ester-y citric fizz, allowing nutty chocolate cadence and distant caraway spicing to imbibe non-traditional light-bodied brown ale. Juicy raspberry, blueberry, and apricot fruiting contained by polite black currant bittering, barely redeeming slim buttery finish. Slight enough to entice lightweight pilsner fans.

Dried floral hop whiff leads to buttery barleywine warmth immediately assimilating heavy alcohol ascent of succulent multi-dimensional copper-hazed medium body. Sweet ‘n’ sour malt-sugared fruit-spiced sass coats astringent earthen nuttiness. Pungent fig-date finish counters watery lightness. Competes favorably with less subtle Abbaye de Floreffe Brown Ale.

Dank mocha aroma surrounds brown-sugared chocolate-caramel malting, rustic mineral graining and nutty wisp of mahogany medium body. Sticky resinous hops add bitterness but depth lacks.

Ambitious plum-hued brown ale usurped by explosive bubbly carbonation. Chewy candy-coated caramel creaminess infiltrates aggressive wheat-honeyed malting, rigid apple tartness, and ascending orange rind bitterness, integrating well with herbal wine niche. Hints of tobacco, raisin, and chocolate mint clustered beneath. Sip slowly to avoid carbolic nose-tingling obtrusiveness.

Mild English-styled brown ale blurs powdered cocoa, sour chocolate, and sweet caramel nuances into muted hazelnut-pecan-almond quagmire, causing subdued barley-hop roast to squander tenuous malt smudge.

Sophisticated faux-Belgian-styled brown ale raises chewy cookie dough luster above tongue-coating mocha-caramel-chocolate malts countering tingly floral-piney hop spicing. Alcohol-burned astringency defers resinous mineral grained center, molasses-soaked wheat toast bottom and recessive almond-hazelnut clip to no ill effect. Medicinal finish gains mild sherry-port remnant.

Creamy coffee serenade prevails over meaty Brazilian nut dryness, resinous chocolate bitterness, and distant cherry jubilee tartness. Stove-burnt coffee finish levels alcoholic severance then loses luster.

Dark coffee-hued ale has rich chocolate aroma and hearty mocha assertion reminiscent of mild porter. Lucid honeyed finish softens middleweight contender amateurs will appreciate more than discerning pros. Brewery defunct: 2002.
