Mar 7, 2009 The aroma is weak and watery with no character but some toasted malt. The appearance is brown with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall this is not that good.

Feb 21, 2009 Run of the mill brown, had at the brewpub. Medium mouthfeel, high carbonation. Sweet, fruity but sour. Some white lace on the brown body.

Aug 31, 2008 On tap at brewhouse in Melbourne, FL. Pours a dark brown to black with one finger tannish-head. Aroma is decidedly malty with notes of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is very similar with coffee, toffee, nutty, and bitter notes throughout. Medium to full body with a bitter coffee finish.

May 9, 2008 Pretty dark brown with golden highlights. Chewy, toffeeish malt nose. Burnt, almost smokey character along with toffee on the palate. Off-dry finish.

Apr 13, 2008 on tap-pours a tan head that laces and very dark brown color. Aroma is musty dark malt. Taste is dark malt-chocolate, roasty, secondary earthy hops bite. Some (funky yeast, English Malt? Or stale coffee. OK/mild carbonation.

Feb 16, 2008 Dark brown pour with tan head and lace. Light roasted caramel aroma that was a bit funky and stale. A bit of caramelly roast malt flavor with a finish that reminds me of bitter chocolate. Thin with a grainy finish carbonation is slightly off as well. Armoa was a bit off for me. The flavor was better than the aroma. A good beer nothing special. I will try it again so I can see if the beer aroma was off or it was me.

Aug 5, 2007 Draft... Very dark for a brown ale (can’t see through it even when held up to bright light) with a small, fizzy, white head. Good retention. Deeply roasted malt aroma with an undercurrent of chocolate and a lesser note of banana. The flavor tilts toward the bitter side of balance with lots of deep roasted, tannic espresso beans, chocolate and banana. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Finishes burnt, bitter and dry. One of the more interesting brown ales out there. There must have been some unusual, Belgian-type yeast used when brewing this batch. I dig it. Reminiscent of a watered-down Midnight Sun Conspiracy.
