Dec 3, 2007 Bomber. Pours brownish red-orange with an orangey-beige head. The aroma is toasty, some spices, some caramel, and some wet cardboard. The flavor is very toasty with some caramel in there, too. The finish is very strange, like nut shells and fresh lettuce. It’s really distracting.

Nov 30, 2007 From a bomber. Light colored for a brown ale as it is a dark amber. The head is a yellowish off white. The aroma is grainy with some strange dandelions and musk. It smells like a dusty old book in a library, like it’s 75 years old and hasn’t been taken off the shelf in years. The taste is light toffee and black tea. There is a little bit of milk chocolate in the finish. The body is light with just a little carbonation. This is a solidly made brown ale, but the strange smell is a little off putting.

Nov 27, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Clear mahogany with a sturdy tan head that showed reasoanble durability and lace. Caramel, pine, spice, and some nice roasted aromas. Medium body and carbonation that leave a dry, and very slightly astringent palate. Sweet burnt caramel flavor that succumbs to a a spicy, softly bitter finish. Very drinkable holiday offering.

Nov 24, 2007 A brown appearance with a moderate beige head. The aroma is rather faint with hints of caramel, nutmeg, and brown sugar. The flavor contains quite a bit of nutmeg and also some chocolate, caramel, and toffee. The palate is a little thin. Some sourness exists in the aftertaste. Overall I thought this was a pretty good brown ale.

Nov 23, 2007 Majestic brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuttiness, and a touch of coffee bean. Palate is roasty (almost smokey), malty sweet, and a bit of a welcome bitterness that completes the finish.

Nov 23, 2007 Pours a nice deep mahogeneyed(?) dark brownish color, with a nice, but quickely dissapating tan head. Hint of spearmint like sweetness accompanies a heavy nutty sweetness and some biscuity sweet malt. Nice rounded flavor with a good dose of caramel and earthy nuttiness, as well as some light floral hops accompanying a light bittersweet chocolate note, the hops show up with more strength in the finish. Pretty nice beer.

Nov 23, 2007 Chocolate and coffee were predominant throughtout this ale. The hops in the finish balanced out the sweetness very nicely.
