May 10, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 2009This was an amazing beer and readily available at my local Kroger in a sixer. Loved the syrupy, molasses-like texture with prominent brown sugar sweetness and powerful malt aroma. Well balanced hop addition, full-bodied and well-rounded beer. I even got my girlfriend to enjoy this craft brew. Sessionable at 7.2% and 50 IBU.

May 6, 2009 This is probably the best brown ale I have had. It has a wonderful mouhtful of flavor. The roasted barley and sugars create a very dleicious ale. You did not want the beer to end. This is good one. The ale poured a deep reddish brown. The head was small and disappeared. I am getting a 6 pack of this. A fun experience. This is why you taste different beers. You have some discoveries that keep you coming back for more.

May 3, 2009 Medium brown with a nice looking head. Very roasted nose and opens like a brown ale, or maybe even a porter, mid palate is definitely weak, and finish has a bitterness that I did not care for all that much. The first time I had this beer I was not that impressed, but last night it was a better experience..

May 2, 2009 Pours dark brown with beige head. Hoppy aroma with hints of coffee, roasted malts, alcohol. Roasted malt and coffee/caramel taste with a nice dry hop finish. Very smooth, stays with you. Another solid Dogfish Head beer. Maybe the only reason to visit Deleware.

Apr 28, 2009 Chocolate, strong coffee, burnt caramel, toffee aromas. Reddish-dark-brown, brief minimal tan-white head. Medium sweet, heavy bitterness. Heavy bodied, soft carbonation, finishing long bitter mocha. A decent beer. Probably would enjoy it in cooler weather.

Apr 28, 2009 poured dark brown with red highlights and thin head. Rich toffee and caramel in the aroma. Alcohol was present up front on the tongue, coffee and mocha malts, hop flavor with bitterness to help balance but not over-the-top bite. Hops balance more prominent maltiness. A bigger beer without being too big in any one area. Real nice.

Apr 25, 2009 Aroma: Big Aroma… raisins, dried fruits, coffee
Appearance: Pours deep brown, tan head.
Flavor: Full flavored with a strong bias towards the malts. It has a complex flavor which includes roasted grains, coffee, caramel, molasses and dried fruits.
Mouth feel: Full body with effervescence in the back of the mouth
Overall Impression: Great beer with big complex flavors and aroma. This is fun beer to drink, taste and enjoy as it doesn’t match any particular style. I am in wonder to where the hops were hid. For a 50 IBU beer I would expect the hops to be more prominent. It’s fun to try and define, yet is doesn’t match any style. It takes the best characteristic from different beers and combines into a great beer.
