On tap at boston beer works on canal street, dark brown ruby color, with a creamy tan-colored head, dark chocolate and roastiness in the nose, with a roasted malt, nutty accent, and a hint of coffee beans in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet cream mocha character, note of roasted coffee beans, sweet brown chocolate, dried dark fruits, like date, plum, leading towards a nutty and a faint hoppy finish.

Tap@Beer Works , Boston, Ma. Not bad for a Brown Ale. Some blackberry and redberry fruit. Caramel, toffee flavours, a little bit tart. Good for the style i think.

(draft) A nice malty brown ale. Very pretty lacing. There was a bit of a coffee overtone that I could have done without. Quite good though.

Draft near fenway. Smells like fresh peanutbrittle and some caramel. Pours a woody brown color with a nice off white head. Head recedes fairly quickly to lieave a small fizzy film. Flavor is nuts, woods, and sweet malts.

I am a fan of nut brown ales and I think the folks at Beer works did a respectable job here. Nutty, chocolate, smooth, very drinkable.

Tap at Fenway. Brown body, medium tan head. Light aroma of roasted malts, coffee. I too found this (and some of their other brews) watered down, but this one more so than others. There’s some nuts here, moderate sweetness, but more or less just a bland brown ale.

On tap at the Fenway location. Nice dark brown color with some very light choco-coffee-ness in the aroma. Good nutty malty flavor, but it seemed a little watered down. Wish the flavor was a little more distinct.
