Apr 23, 2008 Draught Fully dark brown beer; rich dark-yellow, dense head. Chocolate, slightly nutty, hazelnutchocolate. Very smooth chocolatey taste, dark, but sweet bread. Very well-bodied, full creamy-nourishing texture. It’s clean, but not very characterful. Then again, it’s not meant as an assertive IPA.

Apr 22, 2008 On-tap today at Stone. Pours brownish red with a creamy, off-white head, good lace. Smells light and malty despite the brown color, smells a bit nutty as well. Tastes dark and malty sweet and a bit nutty. Medium body, nice velvetty smooth carbonation.

Mar 15, 2008 Pours a mahogany brown color with a light brown head. Aroma is malty, nutty, toasty, and a peppery hops. Flavor is nutty, toasty, roasty, and a peppery finish. One of the best brown ales I have ever had and I do not like brown ales.

Dark red/brown with a 1 finger off white head. Smell is sweet candy sugar, medium piney hops and a slight subdued caramel.A little bit of fruit. Taste starts with a sweet caramel note then the hops jump out. Nice mellow pine hops that really stand out. Would love to know what hop this is. Mouthfeel is creamy with a dry finish at the end.

Mar 7, 2008 On tap at Alesmith. Pours dark (seemed almost blue in cup) with a tan head. Berry aroma, but has a nutty, butterscotch flavor that finishes slightly bitter and flat.

Mar 6, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2008tap at O’brien’s on 3/3/08..... poured a dark brown, almost cola like, allowing some light to penetrate through. a soapy off-white head accompanied it....aroma was vey big on the careamel malt accented by a nice nut component and softer chocolate notes.... flavor was very smooth, nutty, with lots of caramel malt, a little toffee and some chocolate to add to the mix..... def one of the better brown ales that i’ve had the opportunity to try.
