Commercial Description:
SILVER MEDAL WINNER AT THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL BEER FESTIVAL Roasted barley and chocolate malts give our brown ale a rich and “nutty” flavor. Its moderate hop character is carefully balanced by an Irish ale yeast. Are you afraid of the dark? This smooth brew is quite popular with the ladies. Bottoms up!

Draft... Clear, dark mahogany ale with no head. Chocolaty nose. Well-balanced, chocolaty flavor with strong notes of spent, dark roasted grains and chocolate malt. Moderate hop bitterness with a rumor of tart acidity. Medium-bodied and creamy with middling carbonation. Finishes chocolaty, lightly bitter and dry.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 65. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Melbourne Florida. This brew poured a large head of fine to medium sized light brown colored bubbles that left behind a uncarbonated transparent light brown colored body. It had a very nice brown malt and caramel aroma with a smooth mouthfeel with a even medium thickness body and no bite. The flavor was uncommented on but noted as above average.

Draft at Charlie and Jakes in Melbourne, FL. This beer had an average sized ivory head that was creamy and smooth with fine sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was softly carbonated and somewhat murky with an orange-brown hue. The only aroma that I could detect was chocolate. The flavor of this beer was chocolate with a fairly smooth palate. This beer was medium bodied with good lacing. In my opinion, this beer lacks in the aroma and flavor areas.

[904-20071204] Tap @ Charlie & Jake’s (Melbourne, FL). Creamy sweet yeast and malt aroma. Hazy, dark brown red body with a quick creamy light tan head. Flavour holds sweet hints of candied chocolate, rich and nutty as promised. Medium body has some oomph. Nicely balanced roast/chocolate/Irish ale yeast, no surprise this won a silver medal (plus it has a funny bum label).

tap. Dark brown color, light tan head. Flavor of chocolate malts. Aroma of molasses. Finishes with a distant roast. Lacking flavors compared to some of the other Charlie and Jakes Brews

Sweet malt aroma with some odd perfumey alcohol and a desperate plea toward nuttiness. The body is dark crimson brown with a diminishing tan head. Has an almost Belgian dubbel sort of alcohol and candy sugar flavor with a subdued peanut skin flavor in the finish. This is fooked 9 ways to Sunday in some regards. I’d almost love to try it with about half the water added to it and see if this couldn’t be some kind of tasty Quad-hybrid. As it is now it pretty much sucks.
