Jul 18, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Aroma: Strong toasted nuttiness, caramel, and toasted malt. Some herbal hop notes. Appearance: Dark brown in color and clear. Light khaki head was full and frothy with good retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Lots of malt with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, chocolate. Hops come through with a touch of earthy herbalness. Medium-light bitterness and a dry finish. Palate: Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: A nice brown ale. Drinkable with some good flavor.

Jul 8, 2007 Sampled at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting room, pours a clear dark brown brew with a very thin off-white head that quickly dissolves. Aroma of light roasted chestnuts, caramel, and some flowery hops. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied, with some caramel and roasted malt flavors. Finish is slightly bitter with a watery malt aftertaste. A very good balanced brown ale.

Jun 25, 2007 RBSG 2007. Growler. Dark brown color with no head. Nutty aroma. Lots of toasted malt flavor with a watery chestnut finish. Slightly bitter, but nicely subdued and not screaming.

Jun 6, 2007 This has a great head retention over a clear medium-dark brown body. There’s a big nuttiness in the aroma and flavor, backed up by a solid maltiness one would expect in a robust brown ale. Low hopping. Almost salty in the finish.
