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.

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.

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.

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.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a relatively clear, fizzy, medium brown with decent tan head. Malty molasses aroma. Flavor is not particularly assertive, but has nice malts, molasses, dried fruit, nuts, and finishes lightly bitter. medium-thin mouthfeel. Smooth, drinkable, all-around good but not stellar.

Mar 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber color with a decent sized head. White head goes quick. Some lacing left on the side of the glass. Aroma was faint malts, some chocolate, and brown sugar. Flavor was weak. Malts, molasses, and nuts were all present. Very thin body, light carbonation. Very smooth and drinakbale, not a great beer, but decent.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber brown with a decent head. Smells of fermented fruit, malt, and molasses. Tastes of raisins, molasses, very nutty, tea, and lightly hopped. Not too bad.
