Well right away, I don't know that this is a brown ale. Did brown ale subsume the belgian strong dark ale category? In turd resting. Anyways, lets do this Taker v. Mankind hell in a cell match already.

Pours black, not brown. If there was brown, it would be the 3/5" head. The nose was mostly yeast: spice rack, smoke, brown malt, dark fruit and a little bit of alcohol burn/bitterness.

The taste was manageable. I thought I was not gonna be about it, only got the can for the Undertaker reference, thought it was gonna tombstone me but it just gave me one of those soft chokeslams. Dark toffee and prune note. I thought the malt quotient was more in the vein of earthy dark moreso than roasted dark.

As it warmed, there was more nuttiness, and the bitterness became more tempered. These never will be my jam, but I can drink a few ounces of this no problem. All 16 ounces might be a chore solo.

2014 vintage; drank 9/1/14 @ the Yarchives.

Black hue.

Dark tan head; minimal lace.

Fresh earth, chalk & candied sugar nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Coffee, fresh earth & mild black licorice flavors; sessionable AND flavorful.

Nice!

16oz can served in a snifter. I think given to me by @mr-jj. Don't see a date.

Pours dark brown with a smallish fairly pale head and a lot of carbonation. Smell is Belgian. Spices, anise and toffee, dates.

Taste is surprisingly on the toffee side with hints of anise.

Mouthfeel is very light, thin. Overall, not bad.
