This is a great looking brown ale, has a thick tan head with some nice spotted lacing and a nutbrown color that is semi clear when light passes through it. The nose has some tart and sour esters that are popping in your nostrils. You can also smell some butterscotch and toffee as well. As you take a sip the initial flavor is sweet with some hints of dark fruit on the tip of your tounge, then it mellows out with that earthy finish of the roasted malt and nuts. I really enjoy the texture and the carbonation the beer has on the sides of your mouth. Perfect balance of bitter hops for that sour flavor the it hits you with those roasted malts.

Jul 12, 2008 Silky and very drinkable brown ale... nice roast chocolate aroma .. some nice flavours too, but in truth, doesn’t wow me ... abv is hidden nicely .. drinkable and respectable but nothing that special... ’where are you gonna run’ 9:05 - greg packer ’unknown’

Jul 2, 2008 22oz. Smells like hop rod rye without the rye and tastes like an ordinary brown ale. Decent hops in there, and nicely drinkable. Spiced apple and vanilla dessert notes in the aroma. Smells better than it tastes. I’d session it.

Jul 1, 2008 On draft.
Pours brown in color with a nice half inch of head. Smell is fairly hoppy for a brown. No problems with that. Fairly big on the mouthfeel as well. Plenty of the brown malts and sugars to make this good, but then hits you with some more hops. Easy drinking and very tasty. Good beer.

Jun 21, 2008 A fairly unusually large hop usage in this brown ale. I didn’t get as much of the malt as I wanted to. However it was quite drinkable, especially¥ if you like Pale Ales.
