Jul 23, 2006 Clear chestnut pour supporting a medium light brown head with fair retention. Aroma of roasted malt, hazelnuts, molasses and vanilla. PLeasantly smooth chocolate, toffee, nutty and roasted malt flavor with a nifty hoppy kick. The mouthfeel is just a bit watery but the finish is sweet, short and crisp. This beer reminds me of their New World Porter - especially when the hoppy kick comes in. A very nice brown ale.

Jul 21, 2006 A dark brown pour with a decent off white head and a nice lacing from start ot finish. A nice sweet aroma of roasted malt. A nice flavor of sweet caramelly malt that says choconutty. A surprising finishing bitter that lasts a good while. A reasonalbly smooth palate that is just a tad watery but strong for this style beer. As this beer warms the carbonation changes and is a bit foamy. A good beer I enjoyed.

Jul 17, 2006 Dark brown with small tan head. Very appealing aroma of chocolate, nuts and malts. Warm, roasty finish. A very enjoyable brown ale.

Jul 10, 2006 Slightly disappointing, with a smooth, but kind of sour, bittersweet chocolate flavor, with a fairly watery aftertaste. Nice nuttiness, with a dry roasted peanut thing going on as it warms. Finishes lingering, but overall kind of one sided.

Jul 8, 2006 Poured from bottle into a shaker glass, it had a hazy mahogany body and a short-lasting tan head. This humble-looking beer made up ground in aroma by having a rich, toasty malt scent balanced by some mellow hops that I could not put my finger on. The flavor definitely delivers on the toasty chocolate malts that the aroma promised. I thought that this brew was fairly smooth and easy to drink. It was full enough to coat the tongue without being sticky.

Jul 7, 2006 dark brown with some ruby highlights. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, some fruitiness. Taste is about the same, thin palate, with a slightly roasted bitter finish.

Jul 2, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark copper body with a medium-sized, soapy, tanned head. The aroma is reasonably toasty, creamy hazelnuts, and some bread. The body seemed a bit thin and watery at times but others moments contained flavours of chocolate and vast nuttiness. Good.
Purchased at Bello Vino, Ann Arbor in March 2006.

Jun 26, 2006 One of the better brown ales that I’ve enjoyed. Chocolate in flavor, with a sweet taste.
