Jan 14, 2002 really dismal label: a huge field of gravel with a drab brown diamond framing this ghoulish turtle skull or albino bowling ball; what is that thing? call me, arcadia, i’ll make you a decent label. there’s a certain aroma i’ve come to associate with great british beers, like bass for example. arcadia is like that only more so. not a sight for sore eyes but a scent for sore sinuses. ahem, anyway. the aroma is to die for. god wears a cologne about like this, it’s a vintage bookstore, it’s vanilla, it’s brown sugar carmelizing in a peach cobbler. i say jump and the flavor says: ’how high?’. stop me, i’m raving. great beer.

May 6, 2001 Great interpretation of a English Brown Ale. Dark black/burgundy color. Nice carmel taste through out with some hop notes.

Aug 3, 2008 12oz bottle. Thick ambery-brown color. Rich, creamy, with a nice chocolaty taste that lingers in the aftertaste. Sweet brown sugar aroma. Very drinkable and refreshing. This is really an excellent Brown Ale, vastly underrated.

Jan 13, 2005 A good bit nutty, as expected. I wouldn’t say it’s as complex as the description, but it’s good.

May 1, 2007 From a 12 oz. bottle with a notched bottling/freshness date along the right side of label, sampled at cellar temperature in a pint glass.
Poured a cloudy reddish brown with foamy, creamy off-white/pale tan head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing.
Had a fruity and nutty nose, raisins, fresh dates and roasted almonds, with a light backing of chocolate malts.
Good medium carbonation and a crisp, dry, chewy, creamy smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel.
A pleasant nut brown taste, a tasty fruitiness, dates and berries, roasted almond nuts, grainy and lightly roasted chocolate malts, subtle citric hops, the alcohol is barely noticeable, and a big dry nutty, grainy and chocolate malty finish.
Another good English style beer from Arcadia, easy drinkability, a good nut brown ale.

Feb 23, 2002 A very nice brown ale. Very dark in the glass with a nice, light malt aroma. Very nice caramel and hop taste with just the right amount of hops on the finish. I will drink this one again. You could easily make a session out of this beer.

Oct 25, 2002 a very solid brown ale, nice brown color with small disappating head, a tad thin, nice malt presence and hop finish. a nice beer but nothing spectacular
