Dec 26, 2007 In short: Basic thin and watery fruity dark ale.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Dark mahogany body topped by a little ring of foam
In long: Watery toffee and breakfast jam. Roastiness kept to a minimum. Nutty notes totally absent in this so-called brown ale. Malt economy mode in action. To call it thin is an understatement. Barely any hops. Carbonation appropriately soft. We drove through Hartford, the weather was shitty, we went to the City Steam, I drank their Dark Ale. Then I started to have spasms and convulsions. Boredom overdose.

Sep 21, 2007 Light brown, off white fizzy head. Nose held soft milk chocolate tones that lay on lighter wafts of earthy sweet caramel malt. Balanced flavor begins with more chocolate and touches of watery coffee that round out to a slight hoppy bitterness. Light bodied, light carbonation, drying chocolate finish. Nothing special here…

Aug 1, 2007 I thought it was a stout at first b/c it was rather sweet and heavy, but being a brown ale, it has other flavors in it as well which make it fairly complex. As it gets warmer, it gets alittle syrupy and flat, but it was great starting off....

Jun 3, 2006 A brown ale with no nuts and some tofee caramel in the base. A very small touch of burnt coffee or chocolate was noticeable in the flavor and aroma. This one was most impressive in appearance with a brown-red darkness that beckoned to be consumed. Not nearly as good in flavor as in appearance.

May 25, 2006 Pours with a small whitish head. Smells earthy. Tastes malty with some sweetness. Watery finish.
