BückDich (4777), McCall, Idaho, USA Mar 4, 2006 Draft at AleSmith Brewery Thanks to Peter for letting us in only 10 minutes before closing on a Saturday. Pours a dark mahogany brown color with a nice retentive sticky head. The nose is ripe with some caramel and various melanoidins along with a bit of roast and chewy toffee notes. The flavor is a little dry with a nice solid malty body and a creamy roudned finish. Balanced and tasty, a definite good drinker. stoutchap (297), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 25, 2006 Ho-Hum! Not bad - but certanly not great. Poured a woody nut-brown color - had high hopes based on alesmiths reputation, but they were let down a little. Certainly nt a bad beer - but not a rave either. A woody, nutty flavor that was a little better than the neutral nose. no variation in flavor - a littel bubble, but nothing that really riches out and grads ya. (But not offensive either). Better than other brown ales - would try again - maybe it was unfair - tasted after speedway stout. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Feb 16, 2006 Draft, Liar’s Club from early Dec ’05. Pours ruddy brown (looked dark but also was viewed in low lighting). Rich nutty caramel aromas and flavors, and a touch of roast and fruit. Very flavor-ful and with a nice body. twcguy (32), USA Feb 1, 2006 Delicious. on Tap at O’Briens in San Diego. One of the best nut browns I’ve had. allfreej (358), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jan 6, 2006 On tap at the Liar’s Club, San Diego. A fine Brown Ale! Malty, malty, malty! An excellent Brown from a top-notch brewery, srved at one of the best beer bars in the world!!!! jimbowood (947), Athens, Georgia, USA Jan 3, 2006 Tasted on draft @ the brewery. Nice job here. Fluffy, white head with a creamy, smooth, nutty finish to this beer. Very well balanced. I like this beer. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Dec 14, 2005 tap@Liars Club: Dark brown with a reddish tint. Aroma and flavor similiar, especially after drinking for 12 hours and having a fuego. Malty with notes of toffee, fruit, and nuts. Tasty. Thats about I can say and read. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Oct 30, 2005 This finally made it on tap here in Portland. Pours very dark cherry red, close to black with a off-white head. Very bit burnt roastiness to this, biscuty malts and burnt chocolate. Way more complex than most brown ales that you find, almost smokey quality to it, tasting much bigger than 4.8%.
