Nov 19, 2005 "American Brown" pour at the Madison brewpub. Clear medium-brown pour with copper hues... good-looking persistent beige head with some teary lacing as it went down. Frest coffee, nuttiness, caramel, and citrusy hoppage hit the nose. Cola/tea-like feel on the palate, with Cascade bitterness on the finish. Flavor was surprisingly hoppy up front (Cascade and some bittering hops), backed by sweet caramel malts and nuttiness. Very well balanced... and I’m fairly certain that the older ratings are for a different recipe or bad batch(es).

Nov 14, 2005 Was listed on the chalkboard as American Brown, but there wasn’t much room to write what it really was called. I suspect it is this beer given the information available and the recent ratings. It pours to a clear light chestnut brown body with a dense white head and very dense sheet-like lacing. The aroma has cascade hops, light nuttiness, iced tea. The flavor is nutty bars and cascade hops. The hops are light but apparent. For a "brown", I’m liking this. The palate is light bodied and has lingering hoppiness. Overall, this is a nice changeup. Hops + a brown! I’d like to see more attempts at that... P.S., I think the recipe has changed, given the early ratings...

Oct 21, 2005 Copper/brownish color with no head. Nutty aroma, primarily hazelnut. Lots of nutty goodness in the taste, but there’s a strong musty quality that throws it a little off.

Jan 28, 2006 Tap @ downtown location. Clear light brown body, no head. Toasted cereal malt aroma with a light caramel twist. The flavor is largely the same - toasted wheaties with background caramel sweetness. The finish carries a wisp of apple and leaf hops. A pretty dull beer.

Jul 1, 2005 Lightly hazed light chestnut color with a modest off white head. They seem to keep trying to make this one and each time it is a little differant. Mild floor malt aromas with just a hint of hupsack. Flavors of nuts and just a touch of malt sweetness. Somewhat a mix betwwen a mild and brown.
