krisbierjaeger (837), dolores, Colorado, USA 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. P-tor44 (887), Anchorage, Alaska, USA May 6, 2001 Great interpretation of a English Brown Ale. Dark black/burgundy color. Nice carmel taste through out with some hop notes. pauliefrog99 (302), FLINT, Michigan, USA Aug 12, 2001 nuplastikk (403), Maryland, USA 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. AustinMilbarge (681), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jan 13, 2005 A good bit nutty, as expected. I wouldn’t say it’s as complex as the description, but it’s good.
