Jul 31, 2009 I was shocked at how much I would love this beer. I had Hobo’s Breath Brown Ale from Mt. Pleasant, MI a few weeks back and loved it but they were out at my favorite watering hole. This one tasted similar, with chocolate, caramel, nuts and roasted malt. But what shocked me was how smooth it went down and the excellent aftertaste. I would certainly recommend this if you can find this.

Jul 31, 2009 On tap, Kellehers, Peoria, IL. Reddish-brown pour with a tan head. It had a nutty malt flavor. Very drinkable-a good sessio beer. It had nice lacing and a good malt aftertaste.

Jul 27, 2009 Not bad; not great, but not bad. Served with a nice light tan medium sized head and some lace. Color is a very dark & hazy brown. Aroma is a rich brown with the barest hint of hop. Nice and malty. Flavor’s pretty good too. Quintessential British Brown with a slight suggestion of fruit. Good stuff. Good body and carbonation. Good finish too. Full and satisfying. Session beer.

Jul 27, 2009 Another nice sessionable ale from Dark horse. Tried it on tap at the Binny’s South Loop location. Has a better mouthfeel than about 90% of the brown ales I’ve had, which is usually a good indicator of the quality of the beer. Some nice spice and roasted malt really help shape this beer.

Jul 24, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL. The pour was dark brown, with a foamy, light tan, fairly lasting head and finally, a foamy ring with curtains of clingy lacing. The aroma was roasty, slight sweetness, and a touch of caramel. The flavor kicked it up a notch with rich roastiness, hints of toffee and chocolate and a subtle hop bitterness. The body was full with a creamy texture and some dryness to the finish. A big English Brown Ale.
