Jun 23, 2007 Pours a copper-brown with a thin off-white head. This was actually one of the better brown ales i’ve had, good toasty and nutty flavor up front, caramel and a light bitter chocolate note. Good hops to balance but still let the malts be the main act. Full bodied and smooth on the palate.

Quite an attractive ale , dark brown almost mahogany with a nice creamy small tan head.
Aroma is subdued because the beer is a triffle to cold, when it warms the strong sweet caramel malty aroma shows through.
The taste has a very strong roasaty aspect, with some coffeeish bitterness, thenit smooths out and theres even a bit of hop in the end, slightly nutty.
Very nice on the palate, a good creamy, smooth mouthfeel.
Very nice brown ale, one of the best beers I have had from Bighorn
