This is THE brown ale. Englishmen, y’all’ve been served notice. This is the best brown I’ve ever had. gawd. flirts with porter, but maintains the brown identitiy. killer. Had this one on draft at Bodega, and I think they have it in bottles too. However last time I had it in a bottle it was really nothing like this..... aledrinkerLS (101), New Brunswick, USA

I love the carmelized flavor and the hop presence. hopsaddict (6), USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 10, 2007 Bottle. Simply the best dark ale I’ve ever imbibed. The caramel/brown sugar taste blends seamlessly with the burnt flavor. The carbonation is very present and adds a pungency that drives the entire taste home. Forms a thin, light brown head - the first I’ve ever seen from a dark ale. Goes down effortlessly and enjoyably.
Found it at Greens Liquors in Atlanta. nate4g63 (3), Oil City, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Right now my favorite beer. Really opened me up to what brown ales can be. A must buy and try for any dark beer or brown ale lover. Just quit reading this and go buy some, you wont be disappointed. kcdoom (17), merriam, Kansas, USA

The taste is extremely flavorful on the front with the same smoked wood hints in the back with almost undetectable hops for a clean finish. One of my very favorites. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
