Aug 20, 2008 Pours dark brown, almost opaque, with a nice thin tan head. Aroma is roasted nuts/malt. Flavor begins sweet and then becomes roasty and carmelly sweet. Flavors of crisp malt and cocoa dominate the palate. By far the best Brown ale out there.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap @ Alesmith, RBSG. Dark amber color, moderately thick 1 cm head. Nutty aroma backed by earthy hops. Lightly hoppy, nice toasted malt finish. Light carbonation. A very nice brown, touched by enough hops to keep it from being boring.

Aug 12, 2008 On tap at AleSmith Brewing Co. Fresh aroma with slight chocolate but mostly a bittersweet brown aroma. Sweet taste with low hoppiness, slight astringency. Mildly sharp on the palate with good carbonation. Overall very good and a very tasty low alcohol drink.

Aug 9, 2008 Sampled on tap at Alesmith - RBSG ’08, thanks Peter! Pours clear brown with an off-white head. Nice nose of caramel, biscuit, mocha and a tinge of roastiness. Nice brown ale, drinkable and tasty. Notes of mocha, caramel, earth, moderately sweet/moderately bitter - lightly resinous at the very end. Medium, round and creamy with moderate carbonation. Nice beer.

Aug 6, 2008 On tap at O’Brien’s. Poured medium-deep brown with nice clarity and a fine cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet toasted caramel and nutty notes with a very subtle hint of smoke.. the back picked up some cola. The flavor found dry darker chocolate and nutty notes capped by a dusting of cocoa.. a bit weak on the back leaving some grainy husk on the finish. Dry and light-medium bodied on the palate with a lightly sour, grainy finish.

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 5, 2008Draft at Ritual Tavern in San Diego. Pours brown with a tan head. Medium bodied with a great mouthfeel. Aroma of nutty grains. Flavor of dark bread, nuts, and caramel with a balancing bitterness and nice amount of residual sweetness. This is a perfect brown, and yet another awesome beer from Peter and co.
