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.

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.

May 26, 2008 Sampled @ O’Brien’s San Diego. So this is my favorite brewery and I was let down by this one. Where is the aroma??? Have my sinuses abandoned me or are they missing??? A moderately tasty beer with hints of almond, cashew, chocolate, and biscuit but nothing jaw-dropping. Will have to give this another try to see if I missed something.

May 24, 2008 Dark brown with a rich head. Nutty sweet nose with a hint of chocolate. Sweet flavour, good body for style. Pleasing nuttiness but quite sweet at the back. A rich, decadent example.
