Commercial Description:
We begin with a custom mixture of dark and roasted barley malts, then we add the choicest hops. The resulting ale has a dark chestnut color and a deep nutty flavor. Brewed specially for Trader Joe's.

12 oz. bottle via trade with IrishBoy - Pours a clear brown color with a two finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavor is toasted and caramel malt. Light to medium body. Thin palate. A nice, easy drinking Brown. Thanks Richard.

Very dark brown. Thin head. Aroma is of an oatmeal stout, and flavor is lightly roasted grain. Not too bad, and it was only one dollar. A good brown ale.

12 oz bottle at trader joes for one dollar, poured into glass. A very nice beer that really isnt anything more than a porter. But if your into porters, this is a nice, flavorful beer.

Smells like toad. Well, toad with a good malt going. Ever-so-slightly cloudy golden brown body, off white head. Full flavour, light but rich mouthfeel. I’m loving the malt here. Much better than the name.
