May 27, 2005 Pours medium to dark brown with hints of ruby and almost no head. Aroma of nuts, caramel malt and vanilla. Flavors of the same, but also a bit of medicinal taste. From a Beer of the Month club, so maybe a little old. Mild to moderate in the hop flavor.

May 19, 2005 Maybe my bottle was rotten, but I’d honestly rather have a Newcastle out of a paper cup. Over malty and lifeless. Cloying and flat.

Apr 2, 2005 not as impressed with this offering, coffee/chocolate with a bit of bitterness at the end.

Mar 4, 2005 Arcadia Nut Brown Ale will work in a pinch. It is not a great Ale, but will do when no others can be found.. (g)

Feb 18, 2005 Poured a thin looking dark brown ... too clear, and obvious from the pour that it was going to be thin in the mouth. No head. Some flavor of malt, some moderate chocolate, some floral hops, but, well, not much flavor of any kind. Sour finish. I would drink this if it were a 3.8 session beer, but otherwise it is pretty much without charm. Watery but inofennsive.

Jan 29, 2005 Dark brown color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and sweetish. A medium bodied brown ale. Malts are caramel and sweet. Somewhat flat tasting, little to no carbonation. Also a little watery and thin tasting. There is a touch of spicy hops at the finish. Not a very interesting beer. The word uninspired comes to mind. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is sweet.

Jan 29, 2005 Pours (you guessed it) brown with no noticeable head. Taste is a bit watery, but very nice.

Jan 28, 2005 Flatness must be this brewers trademark. Barely a head and I pored straight into the glass. Just like the IPA, the aroma and Flavor are pretty good, but not nearly enough to overcome the flat beer.
