Oct 31, 2007 $8.69 for a six pack at Winn Dixie grocery. Its an unusual thing to find a quality brewer in a grocery like this. Of course they only had the lager and the brown ale, typical for North Florida. Chances of a decent microbrew stout turning up in a big box grocer around here are slim to none. Brooklyn has 38 brews listed and only 5 rate below a 3.0 (4 of those are retired!), none below 2.8, that’s a pretty good record for consistent quality. Brown ales don’t usually garner much favor with me, but this one is a decent offering. Its more hoppy than most, on the order of a Sierra Nevada. Good notes of chocolate are present, creamy and nutty, and plenty of hops.

Oct 24, 2007 Nice brown color with medium head. Very hoppy for a brown ale. Better on tap than in the bottle. In the bottle it seems a little too fruity. Creamy body with slight bitter finish. A good brown ale.

Oct 22, 2007 Pours a less than completely clear ruddy brown with a film of a tan head. The nose is sweet with malt, though not over bearing. Substantial chocolate and a bit creamy. A bit of floral hops, but also something slightly caustic smelling. A fruity slightly out of place roastiness. Cherry? Oak? A full creamy body, particularly for a session style, very substantial. Fruity round malty beer. A bit of roasty astringency seems to suggest oak and cherry. Not so much chocolate, but maybe a small hint of coffee with that roast. Relatively smooth, with the astringency a bit over the top. Reigned in, this could be a nice way to bring balance to a beer on the malty side. Lingering roast leaves me a bit confused, but not a bad beer by any account.

Oct 20, 2007 12 ox bottle from Quake1028; nose of sweet caramel with some light banana; clear dark cherry brown with a medium, lightly lacing, beige head; flavor has an immediate coffee hit, then more caramel and sweetness fading to light hop bitterness.

Oct 19, 2007 Updated: Oct 20, 2007a brown ale for ipa fans. it’s hoppier than your run of the mill brown ale, and really drinkable, especially on tap. its a fairly different animal on tap - i get the feeling its a little maltier when bottled, could be me though. i’ve actually come across this beer in bars more often in D.C. than in new york.
