Pours a light brown with an off-white head. Caramel, roasted malt, biscuits, hops, and a bit of toasted nuts and chocolate. Not an amazing brown, but not bad and easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle in pint glass:Copper and bubbly with a beige head. Tangy aroma. Thin body apparent, sour cherry and metallic tastes, salty finish flattens out.

On draught at the New York Hotel (Ketchikan Coffee Company) in Ketchikan, AK. This beer pours a dark amber-brown color with a thin and lasting beige head. Stringy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt and nuts in the nose, along with some fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted nuts, malt, chocolate and a bit of hops. The finish is sweet and malty with a lingering hops and fruit aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

2008 Bottle - Puours a translucent brown with a small tan head....Like most browns, this is subtle malt and toasty grain, but buzzsaw also has a nice hop bitterness that other browns lack....nothing too great about this beer, but drinkable...

A pretty decent brown ale remniscent of samuel smiths nutbrow minus the nut aspect and a bit watery. A great spring beer for just kicking back and watching the rain fall with your hot girlfriend. ROFL!
