Stout taste. Very little finish. Nice beer.

My rating 4.0 Very dark. Smooth malt with chocolate notes. Nice!

This is a beer that I've enjoyed many times. Roasty without being overly bitter. I nice touch of malt sweetness underlies the abbey yeast flavors and coffee/chocolate tones. Behind it all is that trademark biscuit malt flavor that we have all come to expect from any New Belgium offering it seems.

Great gateway beer!

New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO a little darker than a Brown Ale. An ok beer but nothing special.

American like tasteless foretaste but finishes with a wee chocolate toast. Tastes light in texture. Very neutral - not bitter or sour. Definitely a possible summertime dark beer potential - I will have to try again

Subtle hops that give way to lush sultry malts with delicious notes of chocolate, caramel, & hints of mocha. Wonderfully smooth
