(c/o blankboy, w/ him, garthicus, jerc) garthicus (1215), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 20, 2009 Shared by Blankboy with Jerc and Mabel and I. Appearance: Ruby red, small white head. Aroma: Soapy, nutty, malty, floral and a slight amount of alcohol. Flavour: Nutty, malt, chocolate, bitter with a long dry malty - nut finish. Nice. blankboy (3157), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 5, 2009 My bottle (12oz) shared with garthicus, jerc & mabel. Pours a slightly hazy deep orange-amber with an average size off-white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt, nuts and some fruit. Flavour’s malty and nutty with a light bitterness and what I think is alcohol in the finish. Average bodied. It’s fine, I found it just O.K. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Apr 27, 2009 On tap at Novare Res in Portland, ME. Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head that settles down quickly leaving spotty lacing. Nose is roasted malt, toasted nuts, some brown sugar and caramel. Flavor is too watery with slight molasses, roasted chestnuts, caramel malt. Too much carbonation. Not offensive but not great. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 22, 2009 2009-04-21. Dark brown body with a modest tan head that fades. Aroma is interesting, dusty malt, mild nutty touches. (6+) Flavour is well balanced, light bitterness and nutty/toasty malts. Average palate. Decent, serviceable brew. Bottle shared by Blankboy

RyanMM (45), Ferndale, Michigan, USA Apr 19, 2009 Consumed while my sinuses were messed up, so may have to re-rate in the future to add stuff about the aroma.
Nice pleasant aroma. Somewhat fruity. Medium mouthfeel. Lacing sticks to the glass like glue. Suitable crispness that I’d expect from a brown ale. A good brown ale. nefarious (202), Clarkston, Michigan, USA Mar 29, 2009 Brown pour and lots of carbination.......Slightly roasted aroma. This is the second or third time I’ve had an Arcadia brew that was wayyyy to carbonated for my taste. And a touch of medicinal mixed witht the roasted and nutty flavors. OK. not outstanding.
