Oct 16, 2007 aroma was full of mocha and deliciously malty. Really great aroma! dark amberish brown with a head that cleaved to the edge of the glass. flavor was much like the aroma accept even better. lots of mocha flavor, carmal maltiness, and some toffee. good medium palate. The best brown ale I’ve ever had.

Nov 1, 2007 Draft at Fell’s Point. The aroma of toffee, caramel, and chocolate is strong. The taste is magnificent. It is well-balanced so the toffee/chocolate flavors remain the focus. It has a mild but lingering aftertaste. It is sweet, but not overdone. I love this beer. My girlfriend says "it tastes like a pretzel." I have no idea what she is talking about.

Jul 22, 2006 Maple brown with a white creamy head. This beer had a sweet aroma to it. The taste was stronger than most other nut browns, very sweet and sugary. The flavor is extremely strong toffee, with a brown sugar and maple finish. Very clean after taste. All in all wonderful, but a little too sweet to be consumed in mass. Worth a pint.

Nov 11, 2007 Dark brown with a nice layer of creamy head. Aroma is chocolaty, with sweet sugary caramel as well. Flavor has a slight roasted bitterness but predominantly nutty and sweet, hazelnuts come to mind. Similar to Bailey’s Irish Cream, almost. Very enjoyable and delicious. I was happy to leave with a growler for later.

Jul 20, 2006 Dark copper brown. Nice hue. Faily big aroma of vanilla, mocha and toffee. Really pleasant. But perhaps not for those who don’t like sweet beers. Pretty good dessert beer.
