Mar 15, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Mei. Ruby brown pour with some beige head. Aroma is nuts, minerals and a little sweetness. Flavor is the same, the nutty minerals are not very pleasing in flavor. Sort of tastes like I am drinking water from a metal pipe.

Mar 3, 2009 February 2009 Beer of the Month Club
Aroma: Sweet Yeast and roasted malts, sugary to the nose
Appearance: Nice looking dark reddish, brown beer, medium to thin chalky head.
Flavor: Sweet flavor, short nutty finish
Palate: Kinda syrupy, thick finish
Overall Impression:
Not a bad beer, but offers very little to distinguish it from a standard Brown Ale. Don’t get me wrong, its worth drinking and a fine effort.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle shared by fredandboboflo. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of wet, stale cardboard and malt. More of the same in the flavor, with some light bitterness at the finish. Thin bodied. Not very good.
