Jul 26, 2007 Draught sample from Swans Hotel. Light nutty aroma, with mild chocolate and neutral hoppiness. Very mild aroma. Medium copper-brown clear with foamy light tan lacing head. Medium-light bodied with smooth carbonation (don’t remember if hand pump or not). Smooth brown ale with light biscuity malt character, smooth nutty notes, with a bit of cherry wood and hint of diacetyl. Smooth finish with mild sweetness and light fruity character. After is slightly nutter. A decent brown ale.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc, mabel & tupalev - my bottle. Ruby-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of roasty malt with a bit of fruit and caramel, some tobacco - a little stale, but still nice. Medium bodied. Flavour of sweet roast malt with a mild nuttiness and a quick, nicely hopped finish.

Jul 11, 2004 On a small pub crawl while onshore for a few hrs from my cruise ship, I hit up Swan’s. As a general statement for all of their beers that i tried, the good news is that they were served at the right temperature. The bad news is that none of them was too good, IMHO.
THis was slightly roasty, a bit thin.

Aug 6, 2002 Brown amber colored and having a nice mellow nut brown aroma with a touch of malt. I could not detect the malts advertised in the commercial description. This beer has light carmel overtones and a bit of a nutty taste. Furthermore, it is so smooth as seem to virtually lack any carbonation--a detracting point for me--but no doubt one that has made it local favorite.

Nov 11, 2005 Chestnut body beneath a small tan head. Notes of hazelnuts, maple syrup, Whoppers, and alcohol. Light bodied, thin. The flavor was rather washed out. Not a very good brew.
