Jun 17, 2005 Golden-brown colour. Brown sugar and light hazelnut aroma. Sweetish character with the same brown sugar and nuts. Thin body. Quick, slightly metallic finish. Newcastleish.

Oct 18, 2005 Poured a medium, see through brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, caramel and light chocolate. Tastes of pretty much the same. Semi-sweet and tastes a little like maple syrup.

Aug 24, 2002 Not much head, but a deep copper color and a healthy amount of malt. Very smooth for a brown ale.

Jun 20, 2005 Updated: Jun 30, 2006Rich brown in body with a thin tan head, this ale is replete with chocolate and caramel in both aroma and taste. There’s nothing exciting here, unless you’re turned on by traces of maple, but this is a solid, enjoyable brown ale. It fades, somewhat, in the finish, but otherwise has the makings of a good session ale. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Apr 3, 2002 Quite nondescript. English hops with a nutty/roasted flavor. A good starter ale.

Aug 25, 2002 Fizzy pour leaves a small head atop a translucent hazelnut body. Aroma slightly nutty but more fruity -- apricots? Little hoppiness. As Trap points out, its pretty thin, which you notice immediately and all the way through to a somewhat weak finish, but the flavor is overall decent, with some nice roasted grain, slight hint of hazelnut, caramel and maybe oats. Certainly not a bad brew, but a little below average from Capital and another confirmation to me that I serious overrated brown ales up until the last couple of years.
