Dec 1, 2009 Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours medium dark amber with a creamy beige head. Smells of bready caramel. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is bready, lightly roasted caramel with some astringency. Something like citrus hop follows. Quite tasty. Much smoother than many browns.

Nov 14, 2009 A: Poured with a small, off-white head. Body is dark brown and mostly clear... a very slight amount of haze is present.
S: Malts come through as a roasted (or event burnt) coffee smell, and some hints of chocolate as well.
T: Kind of your basic brown flavors... roasted malt and coffee, but they’re both pretty light and not really jumping out to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Still, very decent.
M: Medium-bodied and creamy, with soft-to-average carbonation.
D: Very easy to drink, but I was expecting a little more. Worth trying at least once, but there’s a lot of better browns to try.

Nov 1, 2009 I was expecting quite a bit more malt character and instead received a clean and crisp brown ale with very little english yeast character. Medium body and light in flavor this brown ale showcases a fairly exuberant malt bill for an almost monotone flavor profile. Also showcased similar metallic aftertaste that was experienced with other beers from DK. A below-average session ale that could use more malt complexity.

Oct 28, 2009 I know browns are not supposed to have a lingering aftertaste, this one is gone rights away. Very smooth, light in body. No flavor "settle out" like with most easy drinking darks.

Aug 10, 2009 On tap at Lincoln Ave brewpub. Chocolaty brown with fluffy whitish head. Slight aroma of sweet cocoa. Taste is nutty and smooth. A decent brown with medium body and a smooth finish.

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle from the brewery. Pours a light brown, hints of ruby. Light tan head. Very nice roasted nut aroma, but not much else. Sweet, but well balanced bitterness. Mild and not complex.

Jun 5, 2009 Intriguing...
Pours amber/ light brown, small white head. Lots of malt character - smooth, sweet at first, then roasted barley notes, then hops at the end.
A very well executed brown ale.
