Yeoooowzerssss!!!!!! ooohooo. the kick ass brown ale on the block. luscious thick creamy head, rich aroma, thick clingy lace. 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.....

Very good brown ale. More like strong american brown than anything else. I love the carmelized flavor and the hop presence.

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.

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.

One of my personal favorites. I am thrilled I was able to get this in keg form for my wedding reception.

Bottle. This looks like Coca-Cola. It has a smokey, sweet, woodsy smell. 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.

This is definitely a candidate for the new American Strong catagory, certainly a cross between several styles, nutty flavors as in a nut brown, slight hoppiess in the flavors & aftertaste like an IPA, and a very strong malty tone in the nose & flavors as well, definitely a fantastic brew
