unrulythings (65), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 26, 2007 malty aroma with dark fruits and a touch of bitterness. light, malty flavor. hints of nut, chocolate, and caramel. easy drinker.
lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA Aug 20, 2008 pours a nice dark caramel brown with red highlights and a one finger fluffy brown head. aroma is fresh lightly toasted caramel malt with a touch of hops and something else i cant put my finger on. has a light to medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but a bit stronger and has a little bit of pine thrown in. not to bad of a brown, i like a little more hops in a brown, but not bad really fresh tasting. also it is a little light for a brown. this is my 4th and final beer out of the combo 12 pack, i had the ipa before and that is still the best one. i would rank the others as follows: moose drool, trout slayer and then summer honey. the aroma does fall off a bit on this one as it warms. i am putting my finger on a little dry dark chocolate cocoa powder. Kevster (192), Bradenton, Florida, USA Aug 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Howie @ the Cock & Bull Pub-thanks! Pours a dark brown with a thin fizzy tan head that diminishes quickly. The pour reminded me more of a cola rather than a beer. Aroma is nutty with hints of spices and chocolate. Flavor is malty and sweet with hints of roasted nuts and raisins mixed in with chocolate and caramel. Is thin on the palate with a creamy dry finish. Very tasty and enjoyable. Imaena (218), Portland, Maine, USA Aug 20, 2008 Bottle in Seattle on Alki Beach out of a plastic cereal bowl. Nice drinkable brown ale. Nicely hopped to stop this from being another cloyingly sweet brown. wish thsi was sold out east. PolakPorter (50), , Illinois, USA Aug 19, 2008 Silky sweet sexy chocolate goodness. Not the most complex of brews, but tasty nonetheless. Extremely wide appeal. Better than expected. Sure. rednapx3 (23), , Isle of Man Aug 17, 2008 Reminded me of New Castle with more “stick” and more malty goodness. . .
Pours dark brown, smells like a mixed nut trail box with malt. . .
Dried dark fruits, coffee, cocoa. . .
Great Brown ale, would buy again anytime. . .
