| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Draft pint at the brewpub. This comes across the bar with the appearance of a murky, river-bottom muddiness. But it drink with delicate balance that goes well with the awesome brick surroundings. The aroma and flavors are both earthy, with a light roastiness that is exceptionally drinkable. In the finish, there’s a earthy, gritty, fuzzy aspect that almost comes across like mellow raspberries. I’d like to see Brian do a raspberry version of it. Outstanding beer, and one that is exceptionally sessionable at 3.8%! (#3384, 4/7/2008) bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 16, 2008 This brown ale pours a medium brown color from a growler. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, sweet, and a touch nutty. A medium bodied brown ale. The malts are fruity and nutty. Touch of caramel and toffee. The hops are herbal and earthy. A nice mild brown ale. There is a touch of bread and some chocolate. A very solid beer, it would make a nice session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 16, 2008 Thanks to Steve A. for bringing a growler of this back with him on his recent visit. I know it’s hard to make a brown ale dazzle and carry with it all the sturdy, eye-popping, tastetingling goodness that are the high-grav type beers. While it doesn’t have that particular wow factor, this beer is solid thru and thru. A nice nutty aroma with some soft roasted malts (porterish?), and toasted bread. Appearance is a murky brown color, almost root-beer in hue with a smallish off-white head. Flavors were really mellow with notes of caramel, walnuts, and some really subtle chocolate notes. A nice beer, easy to drink and no "heavyness" to it. Hoping to try more of their beers.
