May 4, 2006 Pours a clear dark mahogany with an airy, light tan head. Aroma of sweet, nutty earthy malt and a touch of hops. Body starts lightly sweet with some toasty, bready malts, a hint of chocolate and finishes slightly drier and bittersweet with some lingering earthiness. Pretty bland and uninteresting, but drinkable and decently balanced.

May 25, 2006 Bottle from Dark Elf. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of coffee beans, caramel, dough and some roasty malt. Tastes nutty with roasted malt and cocoa present. Earthy hoppy finish. Chewy for a brown ale.

Apr 11, 2009 Esters full on the nose: dusty and earthy with fresh toasted bread crust and slightly moldy (but good). Fresh, bright, slightly sweet up front but turns sour and tart in the finish, not good. Moderately frothy texture over the middle but falls apart in the finish.

Apr 11, 2006 Bottle: Pours a ruby ebony color with a thick and fairly retentive off-white head and plenty of lacing. The nose is lightly nutty along with some dusty caramel malt, some sweet fruity hops and a touch of faint roast. The flavor has a moderately thick body along with some chewy roast and plenty of nutty melanoidin aspects. A bit metallic but very drinkable. I could sit down with a sixer of this. Not to quaff, but just to drink pints of while doing something else I recon. The finish is balanced with enough hop bitterness but not enough to detract from the malts. I had poor expectations of this but it delivered. Nice work Deschutes. I hope this is to get rid of the Twilight Ale, right?
