Aug 6, 2006 bottle: Maybe not the freshest bottle. Not bad for the brown ale style. Medium body with slightly bitter finish. As it warms the nutty & sweet flavour comes out more. Good stuff for brown ale. Actually been to Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park, brewery is really small. Great to see the accolades.

Jul 22, 2006 Bottled thanks to Ambergirl! Poured a clear medium caramel with an explosive cap of off-white head. Nose was soft, yet grainy... with coffee and caramel. Flavor was really about the same... coffee and caramel provide a nice sweet malty base... mild woodsy hops round out the edges. Smooth, creamy, and lighter-bodied on the palate... very little bitterness. This really was never exciting.. but it worked. Tasty.

Jul 11, 2006 Draft @ 3 Dollar Dewey’s in Portland - Poured a medium brown in color with small tannish head. Aroma was malty with some yeastiness. Flavor was malty with a sightly unpleasent sour after taste. Enjoyable, but there are some many others...

Jun 29, 2006 Medium brown color - thin head. Aroma is nutty and sweet. Flavor is fairly smooth with roasted malt flavors - finish is just a bit tart but otherwise clean. An easy to drink and uncomplicated brown ale.

Jun 11, 2006 Nutty, caramel malt aroma followed by a full nut flavor. It was smooth but a little watered down. This brown ale was of course brown with an off white head. It went very well with the lobster I had.

May 28, 2006 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Dave, courtesy of Harry.. Probably should have ended the night with the Avery. Oh well! Decent brown ale malt / nutty aroma. A little sour though. Dark brown, lots of red. Mild nutty brown taste, again, a little sour. Maybe fresher it would be better, but this is all I got out of this one. Serviceable for the style.

May 25, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & Dave B. -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy reddish-brown with a small diminishing off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel malt and brown sugar. Flavour’s also sweet and of caramel malt and brown sugar along with some fruit and hints of chocolate and a light bitter finish. Body’s a little thin but like HogTownHarry says, isn’t that the case with all Brown Ales? This is pretty good, and considering how crappy most Brown Ales are that’s saying something.

May 23, 2006 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy, tupalev and Dave B - my bottle via trade with Ruggedman. Poured hazy deep reddish-brown with an average off-white creamy/wispy head. Sweet aroma, light dry hops, slightly nutty, nothing special, but some decent roast character. Watery mild taste - a bit nutty, malt-sweet, a little dry in the quick finish, vaguely choco-toffee. Slightly watery body (aren’t all brown ales watery?) - nothing special on the palate. Not bad, not memorable.
