does not count  Feb 11, 2009 The perfect brown ale, kids. A big foamy head that lasts, strong roasted nuts paired with chocolate and caramel with a little dab of raisins. Wunderbar.

Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a very dark brown hue, moderate tan creamy head that is mostly diminishing, fair lacing throughout
S- Nose is dominated by a range of nuts including hazelnut, pecans, and almonds, roasted malts, tones of coffee and cocoa/milk chocolate, some light hops too
T- Initial taste is of roasted nuts and malts as expected, followed by sweet chocolate tinged with espresso, finishes with crisp hop bitterness in the lasting finish, very well-balanced and complex brown!
M- Light-medium bodied, creamy to watery texture, good carbonation
D- At under 5%abv, this is a standout brown session ale that is smooth and delicious

Jan 19, 2009 Pours an attractive deep caramel with a thin tan head. Sweet nutty and roasted malt nose and flavor. Smooth on the palate. One of the better of this style.

Dec 30, 2008 Solid nut brown. Distinctive nut flavor with some roasted and toasted malts...beautiful ruby brown body, nice off white head with good lacing. Starts sweet but ends dry and bitter. On tap at o’briens and alesmith does it again.

Dec 28, 2008 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours with a light brown head and a hazy deep brown body with good lacing. Aroma of nut, maple, chocolate, and light spice. Taste is very palatable, with nuts, spices, and cinnamon with a touch of tobacco. Light carbonation and a water like to dry mouthfeel.

Dec 24, 2008 No head, dark brown/black body, roasty chocolate vanilla nose, Bitters in flavor! American style brown for sure, dark roast and hop bitters in the backbone flavor, feeling a bit let don about the lack of sweet nutty notes or any sort of complexity in the flavor by this one b/c of how hyped it is, a good well hopped brown though it is

Dec 24, 2008 Clear dark amber with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and hints of hops. Flavour likewise with a hoppy finish.

Dec 19, 2008 Absolute top of its style. Had this on tap at Pizza Port in Solana Beach, CA. Medium brown color with small off-white head. Malty, nutty goodness (hazelnuts dominate), some chocolate, surprisingly complex taste. These guys just do not make a bad beer, or even an average one.
