Aug 9, 2009 Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mixed 12 pack of various beers from the state. Hazy, medium brown pour with a thick, tan head, a nice malty nose, chocolatey and a bit of baked bread enhance this nice, malty ale. An impressive brew in a so-so style.

Aug 13, 2006 Enjoyed at Great Taste of the Midwest festival. Poured a deep brown, with reddish notes. Huge tan head Chocolatey aroma. Nice and malty like a good English brown, but with a really solid hop backbone.

Jun 21, 2007 4 oz serving from draft at breewpub. Pours a reddish brown with lovely ruby accents in the glass. Aroma is breads, nuts, and carmel malts. Nice aroma. Taste is on the lighter side for a brown with the typical dark malts and some earthy nuttiness. Mouthfeel is on the watery side which is offputting in this flavor profile. Overall a highly drinkable brown ale.

Nov 16, 2003 As it sets in the glass an unblurred mahogany color, the head is modest in size, frothy in its texture and a winsome light tan in color as it vanishes quite quickly a patchy sheet of rather thick lace remains to protect the glass. Sweet malt is dominate, crisp fresh and clean with a vanilla and nut like tones also present, begins malt sweet with the top light to medium in feel. Finish has a mild carbonation, hops unassuming in their spiciness, dry and lingering aftertaste, also noticed a bit of burnt grain in the aftertaste, a drinkable beer. Interesting name must look up and see what history lies behind that name, always a point of interest with me.
