TikiE (352), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Jul 10, 2008 Bottled: Pours a dark brown color with a beige head. Smells a bit roasted with caramel. Tastes sweet with bits of hops and caramel and nuts. Fantastic beer to drink in the snow!
AskForJenny (447), Ontario, New York, USA Oct 8, 2008 Draft - Overly sweet on the palate. No real substance, no backbone. good color with some head. Boring. RasterMaster (8), , Oklahoma, USA does not count Sep 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Dark brown-amber pour leaving a light brown creamy head that mostly dissipates into light lacings. A roasted malted aroma with touch of light carmel hoppiness. Roasted hint of dark malt and slight hop flavors. Right balance of flavors, carbonation and finish makes this one my favorite of the Big Sky brews I have sampled. marchcow (513), Coralville, Iowa, USA Sep 24, 2008 Roasted malty aromaand flavors. Sweet with a little brown sugar. Light palate, short duration and low carbonation. Fairly typical brown ale. FunkyBrewster (150), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours a deep fairly dark brown color with a bit of a reddish hue and a nice pillow off-white head. Aroma is very nutty and malty with some strong roasted notes. There is a surprising bit of spiciness that I detected as well. Flavor starts off nicely malty and very much about the roasted quality. A bit of a spiciness in the middle that had some bitterness as well. The finish isn’t great but it isn’t unpleasant. Medium body and medium carbonation. Good brown ale but fairly middle of the pack, maybe a little better than middle. RunDWP (180), San Jose, California, USA Sep 20, 2008 Updated: Sep 24, 2008Bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head, and some lacing on the glass. Roasted malt aroma with an off metallic note. Flavor similar, with roasted malt, some coffee notes, and a metallic off taste. Seemed a little thin. Just didn’t impress me all that much.
