Nov 22, 2006 Pours a clear dark brown with a small to medium light khaki head. Strong aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Rich coffee flavor up front with hearty doses of chocolate and earthy/woody notes all carried by a strong backbone of roasted malt with just enough hops to keep everything in line. Texture is a bit thin and finishes with a flavorful flourish of roasted coffee.

Nov 16, 2006 First thing I noticed was the carbonation. This beer was VERY carbonated. It had a bitter aftertaste, but lacked a balance of malt and hops, resulting in a very thin feel in my mouth. It is very refrshing though.

Nov 1, 2006 12 oz bottle. No freshness date noted.
Reddish brown, 1 finger tan head.
Spotty lacing.
Roasty malt, caramel notes, light sugar.
Flavor is lightly nutty, burnt sugar, touch of sourness.
Nothing spectacular, but a decent beer. I would drink again if given one, or if it was a choice between this and Newcastle.

Oct 22, 2006 Draught at Drafting Room, Exton: Nice aroma with scent of milk, nuts, malts, cream, and milk choclate. Sugary scent. Poured a nice, nutty, dark brown in color with a nice, light brown head that was creamy and thick in appearance and taste. Head lasted. Good lacing. Clear with a flashlight. Flavor was creamy and tasted like milk choclate. Not bitter. Moderatly sweet. Chalky finish was of medium duration. A little dry. Soft carbonation. Medium body. Overall, not really a brown or a nut brown, but good and easy drinking.

Oct 20, 2006 Draft at DRE. Medium brown with off-white head. Nutty aroma, with some caramel malt and butterscotch. Tastes caramel malty and nutty, with some cacao and a heavy butterscotch element that seemed out of place. Not bad, but not a repeater.

Oct 16, 2006 Big frothy tan head, dense red/brown body, roasted malt nose, burnt hop flavor, chocolate and smoke, sort of one dimensional but I respect this nut brown though, as it’s one of very few that haven’t resorted to that overly sweet synthetic extract syrup flavor, what
