Jan 22, 2008 Currently my favorite American Brown Ale.
Pours a clear Coca-Cola color in the glass. I have described the nose as "brown" -- hops and malted grains mixed to near-perfection. On the tongue, it’s a bit sweet perhaps, but truly great. A smooth, heavenly finish that has in the past moved me to remark, "This is beer!"

Jan 21, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2008ON TAP: not much for aroma (maybe it’s this bar I’m in blocking it), beige head with medium-dark brown color. Long finish, medium body, creamy, lively, sweet flavor with hints of caramel and vanilla. Very drinkable!

Jan 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Bottle. Aroma is sweet and simplistic. Bark and roasted something or another. Dark brown, a bit of creamy head, and decent lacing. Sharp and smooth in the mouth. Some vanilla, and some faint chocolate. Very drinkable, worthy of making it your session brown.

Jan 18, 2008 12oz. Pours dark ruby/scarlet with a small quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is beery, chocolate, chalky, brownies. Taste is chocolatey, slightly roasty, super drinkable and smooth. Low bitterness. Medium body. This is about all I’d want in a Brown Ale. Not that I’m a huge fan of the style but this is exactly what I’d want if I were to drink one. Excellent example of the style.

Jan 16, 2008 Draft. Dark with a very smallhead. Some nuts and a bit of a woody smell with a bitter finsih. I suppose it would be a good session ale but I wasn’t a big fan.

Jan 10, 2008 Nice, clear garnet color with a tan head that quickly fades to a ring at the edge of the glass. Nice roasted nut and chocolate smell. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Has a roasted malt/nutty flavor . Very smooth and easy drinking.
Definitely worth a try. dec 2004

Jan 9, 2008 I really appreciated this beer.....poured a translucent brown with some deep ruby tones. Nice tan head with nice retention. Taste, well, classic. It tasted like a very nice classic brown ale with only very slight bitterness with great hop flavor and aroma as well as very nice malty sweet flavor with great fruity notes. Carbonation was medium, which is what I would expect. This beer was a very nice simple change from other ales I have tried lately. Very true to style. Would buy again.

Jan 9, 2008 Updated: Jan 24, 2008Pours a dark copper-brown color with a frothy tan head. Head is short lived. The aroma is not strong, but a light, sweet malt. The taste follows suit with a very slightly sweet malt flavor. There’s a light bit of roasted malt with some toffee in the background as well. A slight hop bitterness comes through in the aftertaste. This is an easy drinking beer with no over powering flavors.
