May 28, 2007 Draft- Let me just say that I loved this beer more than the whole rest of the flight I enjoyed at the brewery, aside from the Horny Devil. Yes, it is not a "big beer", and it does not weigh in at over 6 percent. But, in terms of drinkability, it is incredible. Super chocolate, roasty, coffee smoothness, balanced by some noble English hops. I got a growler of the Oln Numbskull while at the brewery. If I had to do it over again, i would grab this, and I HATE brown ales.

Apr 3, 2003 I had a sample of this on tap at the AleSmith brewery and really enjoyed it. It has a delicous, nutty flavor to it, almost like peanutbutter. Mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy. Beautiful color and head. An excellent ale.

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.

Apr 6, 2006 I don’t usually post my stuff on RateBeer because I’m lazy but the guys at AleSmith were really great to talk with. This beer had nice color. It balances hops and sweet chocolate better than any beer I’ve seen. Another greaat accomplishment by my new favorite brewery.

Jan 26, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz.
Ruddy dark brown, decent 1 finger head colored tan. Adequate retention.
Big toffee and caramel aromas, roasty chocolatey malt.
Nice toasty malt background to a sweet toffee note. Rich and nutty. Very English.
A little light on body but not distractingly so. A great tasting beer that you can go through several pints of.

Jun 10, 2008 Great brew scene while visiting San Diego. This brew was dark brown and a great brown malty aroma. No bitterness from hops just a good smooth brown ale Very rich and thick for a 4.8% Great mouthfeel to go along with great malty flavors.

Mar 23, 2003 At brewery: Medium brown color with a light malty aroma. Body is smooth, sweet and nutty. Very lighty and appropriately hopped, especially coming from the west coast. Finish is roasted and long lasting. This is one of the best brown ales I've had.
