12 ounce bottle- poured out a dark tea color with a long lasting wheat colored head that left plenty of ringed lacing in the glass. Aroma was light malty chocolate. The taste was all you could ask for in a brown ale, hints of caramel and toffee with a light sweetness and no bite. Slightly thin on the palate. After a horrible experience with the Brooklyn Pilsner, ( I would rather drink Milwaukee’s Best out a work boot), I was hesitant to try their Brown Ale, but they may have redeemed themselves here.

Oct 5, 2008 Deep brown color with a slightly off-white head. Strong malty aroma with hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is very similar to coffee ice cream. Too much in my opinion. Not very drinkable.

Oct 4, 2008 Poured a dark mahogany brown into a pint glass with a finger of head that dissipated into some decent lacing. Aroma was nutty and also had some nice roasted malt scent. Taste was malty and nutty with some chocolate and coffee overtones. A nice amount of hops (more than something like a Newcastle for comparison’s sake) finished an excellent, drinkable brew.

Oct 3, 2008 On tap. Pours a very dark brown with a frothy, light brown head. Aroma is a bit hoppy with some nuts and caramel. Taste is nutty and very malte with some banana esters and coffee. Not very full bodied at all, water like mouthfeel, light carbonation.
