Pours a translucent brown in color. Only about a half inch of head forms on the pour, and is quickly gone. Smell is very roasty brown malts and some hops. Taste is more of the heavily roasted malts, but there’s a good amount of bitterness coming in at the end. I’m not sure if it’s the hops or something else. An alright beer, but there are much better Brown’s to drink.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Reddish tinged brown color with a very slight off-white head. Aromas of chocolate! and roasted malt. Near medium in body, rather creamy carbonation. For me there’s a light sour touch, with chocolate, and mildly roasted malt. Finish is neither sweet nor bitter, and that chocolate aspect sticks to the end.

Brown pour with hints of red off white head and lace. Toasted malt aroma. Semi sweet roated malt flavor. Good carbonation and mouthfeel. Very solid brown ale.

Sampled at the 2008 Music City Brewers Fest. Brown in the glass with an off-white head. Dark cocoa in the aroma. Chocolate and caramel malts in the flavor with a good backing of nuts. Light body. Enjoyable.

bottle, sweet bitter chocolate witrh nutty after-taste, i could see really enjoying this in the fall, but not too bad for this time of year too
