Nov 2, 2007 Bottle; poured a brownish auburn. Light brown head. Aroma of nuts, chocolate and yeast. Surprisingly dood. Palate was a little off putting. Flavor had a pronounced nut flavor, with undertones of chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Hop presence was unsurprisingly subdued. Overall it was easy drinking and had quality flavor.

Oct 18, 2007 Like most of Greary’s beers, this one is clean, crisp, and easy to drinik. It pours a clear brown color with a light brown head. This beer smells malty with a little bit of grass in the background. The initial taste is malty with a bit of a spicy finish. The flavor is clean and crisp.

Aug 31, 2007 Pours an attractive reddish-brown. Geary’s calls it auburn. I’ll accept that. Limited head and lacing. Clean malted aroma and flavor. Also a bit nutty. There’s a kind of absorption of malted aroma into my nose after I take a large sip. Medium mouth feel. A likeable, lip-smacking seasonable brew.

Jun 22, 2007 Looks nice in the glass at least. Butterscotch (diaectyl) Caramel, nutty, malty. Pretty high level of carbonation. Alcohol? Pretty hoppy for the style. Boring. I should know better than to even bother with a brown ale.

Nov 18, 2006 12 oz bottle consumed at cellar temp from a Corsendonk glass. Deep chestnut color with a smallish lasting creamy off-white head, fairly clear-bodied, little in the way of lacing....aroma is really -- how best to put -- neutral? vaguely defined caramel malts and hints of wood/nuts but it takes a while before I can tell that I’m not just smelling the glass; eventually light herbs come to the fore and it ends up rather root-beery....on the palate, too-heavy carbonation, more herbal character, dry and bitter with sour grape touches, overall it has something of the character/mouthfeel if not exactly the flavor of a strong ginger beer, and I’m not terribly enchanted.

Nov 18, 2006 Cask conditioned: I had this at the Great Lost Bear in Portland in September of ’06. Dark amber in color. Thick but short tan head. Malty flavors with an average taste overall. This beer is good, but not mind-blowing, even in its cask-conditioned state. Appropriate mouthfeel for an autumn ale. Mildly hoppy aftertates. Nice aroma.
