Aug 30, 2007 All of the right things in all of the right amounts. Pours a nice dark brown. Chocolate, malt, nuts in just the right amount. Nothing overpowering. A very pleasant beer. I could easily drink way too much far to quickly.

Aug 28, 2007 Quite a malty nose, brown sugar, hint of cocoa, deep chestnut, with a small tan head. Flavour also has chocolate, roasted malts and some nuttiness. Really well balanced, bitter and dry. Good.

Aug 27, 2007 Pours a clear garnet-brown with a frothy tan head that has a bit of staying power and laces nicely for a brown. Sweet roasted malts, light nuttiness and a touch of vanilla are on the nose. Medium-bodied and creamy/slick it finishes dry and slightly bitter. Nutty, roasted malts with a hint of cocoa and a distinctly bitter hop finish. A decent brown that’s not just another malt bomb, but I didn’t find it anything to get too excited about.

Aug 27, 2007 12 oz bottle. Aroma of roasted malt with a noticeable portion of chocolate. Dark mahogany color with a beige head that flattened.Thin to medium bodied with nearly creamy carbonation. There is a strong roasted malt flavor. No sour notes, slight chocolate, and arguably a bit of coffee. There is enough bitter to be noticed in the finish. A very good ale. Much better than most American browns.

Aug 26, 2007 8/25/07 From the bottle. Aroma is roasty, very bready, slight chocolate, slightly sweet/sour tone, some citrus, and almost no hop character. Appearance is deep brown with a moderate light tan head. Flavor is sweet roast malt forward with caramel and a light hop character of citrus and resin. Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied and resiny. Overall, easy drinking, but not quite to style, should use more hop character. Still, pretty delicious with good complexity.

Aug 25, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Pours a deep brown color with red headlights. Half-inch thick light tan head. Aroma is mostly chocolate. Initial chocolate malt flavor runs into a subtle hop finish with some nut flavors that linger. Basic, but easy drinking brown ale.

Aug 22, 2007 Bottle, some chocolate malts hops smells like saaz. A light brown clear color with small head. Nice and easily drinkable, both satifying and thirst quenching. Not a bad session brew. Its pretty good, but definately nothing bigtime.

Aug 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark amber- brown color with a big tan head. Taste is semi sweet and loaded with caramel, cocoa and nuts. This is a nice easy to drink session beer with a light hop finish. Nothing fancy or over the top but enjoyable none the less.
