Picked this one up at Macadoodles while in Missouri. Dark brown color and pours with a thick tan head. The aroma is chocolate with notes of coffee and caramel. No surprises in the flavor although caramel is the stronger here whereas chocolate was the strongest scent I picked up. The coffee shows mostly in the finish which combines with mild balancing hops. A sip or two in and the head has settled to a thin film. The palate is slightly roasty but also a little metallic. Pretty much a ho hum Brown Ale that’s solid but far from anything special.

Dec 18, 2009 Deep brown, beige head. Nutty, malty aroma with prominent hops; fairly dry. Not dissimilar from their winter mild, but a bit stronger with a faint musky aroma. Good brown ale.

Dec 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a deeper and darker brown with some red tints. Thin, tan head that dissipates immediately and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is a lightly sweetened, nutty caramel with a subtle fruit, chocolate, and roast. Flavor is the same. Nutty caramels up front with a soft chocolate, hint of honey, and a faint fruit before this finishes rich and smooth, with a light chocolate, toasted nut. Very light bitterness with a short aftertaste. Medium to full body and very smooth. Overall, a solid nut brown. Nothing exceptional in the least bit, but drinkable and balanced. Somewhat simple, but hard to complain.

Nov 29, 2009 Average size khaki head with a fair amount of lacing over a sienna colored body. Toasty, nutty, caramel malt aroma. Woodsy, nutty, slightly smokey, moderately sweet taste. Smooth, medium bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel with a subtle, bitter aftertaste and a short lived finish.

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep ruby brown with a beige head. The aroma has swet malt, some toffee, and a light honey sweetness. The flavor follows with a solid honey like sweetness, caramel, toffee, and a roasty hint. Decent.

Nov 25, 2009 Pours dark brown with a clean, thin, light tan head. This is a quite tasty, well-balanced brown ale. The aroma and flavor are understated, with dark earthy nut and roasted malt flavors. The carbonation is low and pleasant, and the flavor is just a little sweet and a little bitter. This is a very drinkable brew, but doesn’t stand out a lot in any category. Just plain old good beer.

Nov 17, 2009 Deep, ruby brown with a thick, beige head. The aroma is not hugely interesting and consists mainly of light roasty notes. It begins with thick, sweetish caramel in the mouth which becomes earthy mushroom and finally a strong, nutty crescendo. Totally quaffable with a great balance between depth and drinkability. It becomes a little sticky as you get further through it but it remains an excellent one.
