Mar 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear dark brown pour with a thick white head. Generic brown ale aroma. Sweet with some chocolate malt. Not a very strong flavor. Nutty with a bitter, milky finish. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Feb 29, 2008 Very crisp and refreshing on the palate. A light hoppiness from the cascade hops is very smooth. The flavor is close to a smoked root-beer. I tasted this beer today in a liquor store and was immediately sold.

Feb 22, 2008 Pours brown with a medium sized head. Aroma is malt, some nut and caramel. Mouth feel is a bit thin in body with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor starts with a hop bite, but quickly changes to sweet caramel and nut flavors. A very easy drinker, just not a WOW beer.

Feb 21, 2008 On draft at the Firehouse Lounge in Pittsburgh, PA.
Dark brown caramel, off white head. Aroma is malt, roasted nuts, bitter hops. Flavor is bitter walnuts (hops?), malt and on the watery side. I kind of like it because it’s a bit quirky in a way that appeals to me. I guess it’s that bitter thing. I like bitter.

Feb 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a fizzy beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of caramel and brown sugar. Medium body. Flavor is sweet caramel and sugar, a bit nutty, with noticeable hops. Unfortunately, the finish is a bit metallic. Not an awful beer, but not that good.

Feb 5, 2008 75 characters is a lot for this beer. Good head and lacing. The flavor is of dark malt dryness. Nice in that this isn’t cloying, but I can’t say it is memorable.

Jan 26, 2008 Dark color, little to no head. Very spicy aroma with faint fruits. Great nose. Complex flavor, I would describe it as a "roller coaster"...flattens out but then comes back and ends with hops. Very consistent. This beer was a pleasure to drink!
