On tap at Romans pub. Murky brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, roasted malt and caramel. Taste mimics the aroma, it’s sweet and nutty with caramel and toasted malts with a little bit of bitter hoppiness in the finish. Not a big fan of the style (who is?), but this one ranks among the best within the style.

Tap at Sugar Maple. The beer pours to a murky brown body with a foamy white head. The aroma is heavily nutty with walnuts and peanuts and a deeply toasted brown malt. Sweet nutty flavor. Creamy body. This was a superb brown ale.

Nice roasty aroma. Full of nutty coffee-ish notes. Pours brown with tan head. Notes of chocolate, tobacco and sesame in there.

Draft. Umber to brown in color, with a smaller off-white head. Caramel, nuts and toasted grain aromas. Mild pale malt in the front. Gets more toasty and additional bitter the deeper you get. Finish is dry with a hint of black malt. An average brown ale.

On tap. Dark brown pour, red highlights glimmering through, small tan head. Somewhat faint caramel aroma. Flavor, wow. A lot of roasted malt tree fruit here, with a sweet worty malt profile, balanced by resinous, bittersweet nut character. Bordering on a porter in terms of the flavor profile. Medium to full body, creamy palate, highly drinkable.

Aroma is well mashed dark malting ,with little exotic sparks of caramel and charred chocolate, taste is caramel/toffee and some kind of roastedness,more a porter then brown ale,slightly light finish,but satisfactory from start to finish

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Tastes of carmal & nuts with a strong earthy mouthfeel. Only had a sample of this, but overall was impressed. As usual beer from the Dark Horse doesn’t disappoint.

Draft @ Brewpub: I can see brown ale fans really loving this beer. Aroma of sweet, caramel malt and a tad of chocolate. Smooth, full-bodied, and flavor of burnt caramel with a mild finish.
