kiefdog (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 14, 2008 12oz bottle from Mayflower Beer and Wine (Plymouth, MA). Pours a dark brown with thin white head. Some lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, spice, some flowers, caramel. Flavor is most malt, grains, and bread with some notes of caramel and molasses sweetness. Generally light body with a quick, sweet finish. fluffy (56), Alabama, USA Aug 11, 2008 pours amber brown, head dissipates quickly. scent is roasted grains. taste is nutty with a buttery finish. some dark maltiness, finishes clean. not bad, better than some brown ales ive had. Ryan82SM (13), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 30, 2008 Very drinkable, but not alot of flavor. I understand the role of a session ale, but really could have used some more flavor and complexity overall. Like a waterier Newcastle. thornecb (1033), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Jul 9, 2008 Pours tea-colored into a shaker. Fluffy off-white head bubbles and pancakes as it slowly recedes. Dried biscuit aromas. Soft, sweet caramel upfront with a lasting metallic finish. Boring. Holdwine (821), Beertimore, Maryland, USA Jul 9, 2008 Nice enough brown, but nothing special. Easy on the tongue and full of nuts, and sweet malt. A tad watery, and not too complex.
