The_Beer_God (2855), Newport News, Virginia, USA Nov 11, 2006 Draft at Denver Chophouse. Rubyish brown. Nose is very nutty with caramel, light cocoa and sweet malts. Taste is sweet malt, caramel and light hops but less nuttiness. Body is light-medium with a frothy carbonation feel. Ends with more malts, light cocoa, some caramel, and soft nutty flavors. jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 29, 2006 on tap-pours a light tan head and brown/red color. Aroma is dark roasty malt. Taste is dark roasty malt, background hops, some nutty. OK carbonation. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jul 17, 2006 A disappointing brown ale. This would be great if it did not wash out in the finish and ends up being completely watered down. Undetecable hops, with a rich and roasted, nutty caramel flavor. willblake (1942), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Oct 8, 2005 10.02.05 Tap at brewpub. Pale brown pour with teeny off white head. Mostly, this stuff is flat dead and bland, but there’s are some redeeming qualities. the stuff has a honey roasted burnt nut background and some hints at sweet-tart finish. For the most part, it’s just lame. _Just enough hops to keep the malt at bay_ Ha! I’ve got enough hops in my pocket to keep this paltry amount of malts at bay. KAggie97 (1918), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Oct 7, 2005 Tap at brewery. Pours a deep brown. Aroma is sweet malt and sweet nut (?). Flavor is roasted malt with a sour finish. Palate is a tad watery.
