Aug 4, 2008 Updated: Sep 24, 2008Draft @ Bel Air location July 2008. A very nice, hoppy brown ale. Well balanced with notes of pine hops, caramel sweetness, and ash-like malt. Reminds me of Hibernation Ale with less alcohol. Possibly the best brown ale I’ve had.

Jun 6, 2008 Double dry-hopped firkin @ Arundel Mills on Firkin Friday. Pours a murky, orange-brown color; thin, light-tan head with patchy lacing; some pulpy particulates. Very pleasant, orange-y citrus, resiny / juicy / zesty hop character in the aroma; some very soft brown sugar and caramel notes underneath; nothing sticky here. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: chewy / resiny oranges, solid zesty mineral / citrus hoppiness; pleasant, very soft malt core (brown sugar, caramel), very excellent and drinkable stuff. Nicely dry-hopped. Lengthy, softly bitter finish: chewy oranges, resiny citrus, some breadiness and caramel. Yum.

Dec 14, 2008 Deep brown pour with a hint of red a foamy off white head and lace. Deep brown sugar and caramel malt. Sweet caramel malt with a light bitter. Medium bodied with a bit of aggressive carbonation. Light medium bitter finish pretty solid.

Aug 14, 2008 Hoppy, slightly fruity, balanced with sweet malts and hints of chocolate malt/roastiness. There was quite a bit going on in this beer for the quality. Different from other brown ales, but a good one.

Jun 17, 2008 Draft - Mills. Clear dark copper, creamy light tan head. Soft dusty milk chocolate and caramel almond aromas ride hints of toasted cherry cereal. Chocolate toast flavors balance on a touch of caramel nut and earth. A soft citric hop tone rounds this out well. Light bodied with light carbonation. A well done session brown...

Oct 21, 2009 From growler. Pours a clear light brown body with a reddish tinge and a slightly off-white fizzy head. Nutty, lightly roasty nose with some cocoa powder. The flavor is dry and nutty with a light grainy note, pretty well done for a Brown Ale. Light bitterness on the finish balances things out. Light to medium bodied with light soft carbonation. Overall pretty nice really.
