Oct 29, 2009 Poured from bottle into Pint glass.
Dark brown, with a slight reddish tint. Head mostly recedes but leaves some nice lacing.
Aroma of caramel and fruit malts, with some metallic hops.
Slightly sweet caramel and chocolate malts balanced by a slight hop bitterness at the end.
Moderate carbonation and medium body. Relatively smooth.
Overall, a very nice example of an English-style Brown Ale, but there is something about it that keeps me from really wanting another.

Oct 21, 2009 Pours a robust brown in color with a very dense, creamy, tan head. Aroma has a very sweet roasted malt note with a caramel, chocolate, light grassy hops and some mild walnut nuttiness. Flavor has notes of chocolate, light caramel, a very smooth roasted character followed by a very light, unobtrusive grassy hops note. A slight burnt malt bitterness and acidic bite hit at the very end. Body of the brew is pretty dense but produces a thin texture with a mod/high amount of carbonation and great lacing is left on the glass. Overall a really good brown ale.

Oct 14, 2009 Draught at 99 Bottles. Dark brow color with a pathetic scattering of foam for a head. The aroma is sweet toasted bread with a nice roasty hint. The flavor has a nice toasted malt, caramel, and roasty bitterness that works well with a medium hop bitterness. Definitely on the roastier side of brown, almost venturing into porter territory. Medium bodied. Not mind-blowing by any means, but a well-crafted brown to be sure.

Oct 14, 2009 Updated: Oct 21, 2009Had it on draft and in bottles at Big Sky in Montana. It is pretty good in both. The flavor of the malts come across as a bit nutty. Not a bad beer to drink after skiing in a hot tub. Nice brown ale.

Oct 12, 2009 A dark brown body with medium tan head that disipates rather quickly. It has a sweet malty aroma and a watery texture. The taste has notes of chocolate and finishes with dryer hop taste.

Oct 10, 2009 Pours brown with a little tan head. The aroma is malty caramel notes, the flavor is also malty with some nice caramel and toasty notes, and a nice hop background as well. Nothing spectacular, but a good solid brown ale.

Oct 3, 2009 12 oz bottle heather brought back from her trip to Montana. Medium colorful brown with light off-white head. Nose is sweet malty and caramel. Taste is same with subtle hoppiness. Light and sweet, but substantial as well. Nice all around brew.

Oct 2, 2009 12oz can, suspiciously priced at $3.99 a six pack. Pours a deep amber-brown color with a foamy off-white head. I’d guess it was filtered by the tranlucence. Malt dominated all the way, quite thick and creamy while still remaining easy and drinkable. Mild chocolate and coffee undertones. Some subtle soapy hoppiness underneath balances it out. Overall pretty good, a solid US Brown Ale.
