Jun 1, 2009 On tap at the brewpub on 05/31/2009. Clear very dark brown body with ruby highlights and a large creamy light brown head. Chocolate and light nutty aroma with a bit of molassas. Sweet chocolate flavor some roasty hints with light molassas and a bit of nuttiness. Medium light body with moderately low carbonation. Not sure it’s really a brown ale, but it’s certainly tasty. 7/4/8/4/15 - 3.8

Oct 4, 2007 Draft @ Brewpub: Very dark brown, nice head and lacing. Nose of nutty sweet caramel and nutella, chewy sweet raisin and a bit of cocoa and smoke. Licorice and cheddar, nice robust brown ale, I like.

Sep 10, 2007 Typical brown ale, although something a bit off in the flavor. Slightly harsh and medicinal. More flavor than some other brown ales. In this case that is not a good thing.

Jun 30, 2007 Sample from tap and cask at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with brown head. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavour has the same, with mild sweetness to it and some bitterness in the finish. Decent brown ale, nothing wrong but not special either. Solid brew. Cask adds a bit of citric notes otherwise it doesn’t gain or loose by the cask.
