“Troll the bowl, the jolly nut-brown bowl,
And here, kind mate, to thee.
Let’s sing a dirge for Saint Hugh’s soul,
And down it merrily.”

—Thomas Dekker, from The Shoemaker’s Holiday, first performed at the Rose Theatre, London, in 1599. Edited by Anthony Parr, 1975. From the footnotes: Troll=pass, nut-brown i.e. the colour of the ale it contains.
