Mar 7, 2004 Nitro. Dark brown. Nitro head makes it somewhat interesting, but not enough. Smooth clocolate taste with subtle nuts, malt and caramel. It did have a gritty finish. Way too light at 4.4%

Jan 15, 2004 From a sampler: This beer is a dark brown color with a medium thick beige head. Thin, sticky lacing. The aroma is very nutty with a touch of brown sugar. Very smooth body with a tasty roasted coffee, nut and malt blend. The only downside is the flavor is not very lasting. The finish is nutty and has a lightly bitter aspect to it. This is a pretty good Brown.

Jun 23, 2003 This Brown Ale poured a medium sized tan head with small bubbles. This brew had excellent lacing and the body was brown in hue. It had a mild coffee aroma and a smooth flavor from start to finish. At the same time, this brew was thin and watery in my opinion. I much prefer their Porter to this particular brew.

Jul 21, 2002 The first thing I noticed with this beer was the amount of carbonation. It had more fizz to it than my ex-fiance’s rootbeer did. It did have a decent amount of dark malty flavor to it, but then the hops kicked in and something wasn’t quite right. The two ingredients weren’t frineds or enemies, but both just kind of did their own thing. The most disappointing part of the whole thing though was that there was no aftertaste at all. I love knowing that I just had a sip of a good beer. Ten seconds after sipping this I could no longer taste it, nor remember the flavor. Nothing offensive really, but not too good.

May 13, 2002 They claim this as their award winning flagship brew and it does have some noticiably more flavorful qualities than the other Alcatraz entries. What is really disturbing though, is the waitstaff’s habit of comparing their beers to massbrew - when my wife asked them how this was they responsded - ’it’s like Honey Brown with attitude,’ just like their red is like Killians, etc. Anyway, the thing has some murky, sweetish malts shot through with rather uncomplentary hops.
