Jun 1, 2002 Exceptionally sweet and malty, though a trifle thin. Alcohol is very well hidden.

Aug 12, 2006 Bottle... Cloudy, burnt orange ale with a small, frothy, off-white head. Good retention. Roasted notes of pecans, chocolate and maple syrup in the nose. Also, a bit phenolic (bandage). Thin, lightly acidic, gently bitter flavor. Terrific balance, but bland. Light-bodied with a fairly crisp finish. Thanks to growler for sharing the bottle!

Sep 17, 2005 Gosh, I’m going to go against the grain. Hazy, moderate nut brown color, another beer of theirs that comes out undercarbonated, though it just so happens that I don’t think that’s a problem--it’s nice relief from most American beers in bars (including brewpubs) that are way too overcarbonated. I liked the basic flavor components, nutty, some suggestion of hops peeking through, caramel, and candy. Quite satisfying. (on tap at Dr. Dremos, Arlington, VA)

Slightly hazy brown colour with a thin tan head! Aroma of soap, strong nuts and a fair amount of malt! Tastes of malt, nuts and a fair amount of sugars. Aftertaste shows some bananas and subtle maltiness with predominiant malt. Overall, a better than average brown-impressive for someone who doesn't like the style! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Shenandoah Brewing Company in Alexandria, Virginia and sampled it on 21-November-2003.

May 23, 2006 Tap at SB Co. - Rusty brown, thin white creamy head. Soft floral nose with roasty, nutty, and chocolate undertones. Flavor was similar with earthy hop notes to boot. Light to medium bodied, light carbonation, drying, nutty, mild chocolate finish. Drinkable, but nothing special...

Jul 1, 2004 Brown. Nose is quite sweet. Good malts, caramel and peat, some molasses as well. Mildly hoppy at the end.

Jul 25, 2003 To muddy for me (like a homebrew gone awry). Very sweet and chewy. Malt is the story here. Surprisingly thin bodied for so much malt. It was definitely smooth going down.
