Jul 6, 2007 Draft. Great brown ale. The chocolate malts make this beer what it is. The hops are almost not existent, but yet are present once the brew is poured. A dark body for a brown ale, almost like a stout or a porter.

Jul 3, 2007 Pour is a brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted nut some some spicey hops. Flavor is decent. Lots of roalted malts with a decent helping of hops. Some chocolate and cinnamon round things out. Newcastle should try and be even half as good as this.

Jul 3, 2007 12oz - Aroma is roasted malts, nuts, and that skunky Newcastle smell. Pours dark brown with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is sticky. While drinkable, this one didn’t do anything for me.

Jul 1, 2007 Syrup and coffee aroma. Clear medium to dark brown pour with a thin, coating, tan head. Woody and sweet. Smoke finish. Hops are present but subdued. Chewy and fairly well balanced.

Jun 22, 2007 Dark reddish brown our. Aroma of brown sugar and French vanilla coffee. Nutty with chocolates follows a light smokiness. The faint use of hops helps keep this from becoming too sweet or cloying.

Salty, toasty, malt aroma with a touch of banana and a hint of hops. Clear reddish brown with a lasting tan blanket. Biscuity flavour that was a bit sour but with an excellent sweet mocha finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, clean yet sweet finish.

Jun 10, 2007 Another well balanced brew from Avery. One of the best I’ve had in a style I often dislike. The nut and vanilla-- all is about right.
