Jul 26, 2004 Dark brown with some ruby hues and a medium thick khaki/cardboard colored head. Very large bubbles are like potholes on the head’s surface. Smells of chocolate malts, caramel and fruity hops. Not a bad nose. Taste begins watery and sweet with chocolate then becomes salty. Some fruity hops are on the palate’s finish. Not very good.

Jul 20, 2004 Sugary malt aroma, black color with no head. Thin malt body with a decent crispness at the end.

Jul 3, 2004 Thanks to Matta for this bottle. This was pretty good for a Brown, which is a style that is usually boring to me. Had a nice roasty taste at teh start and lasted about half way through the glass. After the it was a little watery.

Jul 2, 2004 Matta sent this fine brew! Thanks!!!
This raised a small head despite a vigorous pour, but otherwise had a nice deep brown color. The aroma was light caramel, chocolate, and nutty, toasted malt. Softly carbonated, it has a medium body and a creamy mouthfeel. The flavor is light chocolate, balanced by a slight hop bitterness and a touch of smokyness in the finish that rememinded me of their Highland Games.

May 18, 2004 An extremely hoppy brown ale, in the American style. Dark, dark brown appearance. Light tan head. Considerable hop fragrance with gobs of bitterness assaulting you. A bit much for me, as the malt body is totally lost in there somewhere. What malt there is will be quite roasty. Good if you like a roasty, very bitter brown ale. Thanks, MattA.

Mar 22, 2004 Updated: Apr 5, 2005I can’t remember a brown ale I liked less. I hate to be critical, but this stuff sucked. Not much head, too sweet and no hop balance. Weak.
