Jun 29, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown pour with a thick beige head. Roasted malt aroma with a strong earthy hop presence. Alot of sweet flavors up front with chocolate, coffee, and earthy hop tastes standing out.

Jun 27, 2008 Pours very opaque brown liquid with a strong amber hue, has a very light, beige head. Faint aroma of nuts. Flavor is a little more interesting but thats not saying a lot. Nuts and chocolate malts are noticeable. Not much body or character in this underwhelming brown ale.

Jun 22, 2008 Nice Aroma. Good taste of caramel malts with a hop background. This is a nice and smooth beer that you could drink many of.

Jun 20, 2008 Draft at Flying Saucer Nashville. Pours a dark brown with a wisp of a tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, and vanilla. Lighter side of medium on body. There is nice balance of chocolate, nuts, vanilla, and wet grains going on here, with a subtle bitterness to keep it balanced. Perhaps a tad on the sweet side compared to other US examples, but I think it works hers. This is very complex for a brown ale, and enjoyable. I would have no problem buying this again. One of the better domestic browns IMO

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle from Beerfest at Sudwerk in Davis, CA. Avery is hit or miss for me, and this one missed. I know there isn’t much to the Brown Ale genre, but it was just kinda blah.

Jun 12, 2008 A mighty fine brew! pours a mahogany coloured body with a medium sized tan head. A soft touch of nuttiness in the initial sip which quickly mellows into milk chocolate, almonds and caramel.
