May 18, 2006 Pours a transparent dark brown with a nicely lacing, big, frothy light tan head. Lightly nutty, earthy, and caramely sweet aroma. Body starts with some good malty sweetness, a touch of English hoppy balance and a smooth, lightly chocolatey finish. Very drinkable and an enjoyable brown ale.

Sep 22, 2006 22oz bottle. Poured a dark reddish / brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, chocolate, and light roast. Tastes of lighter nuts, chocolate, toasted malts and caramel. Not bad for a Brown Ale.

Jul 26, 2006 This is a very good brown ale, but from the hoopla from the brewer, I was expecting more. Deep mahogany body with a one-fingered light brown head that rapidly settles down to a thin layer of fizz, this does has a deeper malt aroma, more chocolate, a light toasty scent, a nutty bitterness... a bigger American brown ale smell. Seems like there’s some molasses added to the flavor, a fairly sweet drink. Sticky finish. Pretty good - Big, but nothing exceptional. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=417> Friar Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Peoria, IL<font size=-1>

Jan 22, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown color with a tall tight tan head. A very dark, but good looking brown. Caramel and simple malt aromas, with hints of cooked greens as a mild disturbance in the background. Lots of sweetness greets the mouth. A mild dark candi flavor, with lightly roasted malts. Starts to get cloying in feel toward the end of the quaff. Some licorice and vanilla flavors mingle with the sweetness, but add little to the "enjoyability" qualities. Unlike Ernie, I am not getting bored with this, rather sick of this and I have a bomber bottle, so the experience is extended. A mild dry roasted malt finish help slightly. The deeper I get into this bottle, the more I appreciate it (perhaps still not like it). A strong brown ale. Perhaps a brown strong is to be simple and strong. It just doe nothing for me.
