Jul 30, 2004 Deep brown, tan head. Sweet malts in the aroma, light chocolate, no nuts. Flavor starts out ok, malty, but gets some odd off flavors creeping in. Medium body, I wouldn’t say as thin as others have said. Decent but the flavor doesn’t do it for me.

Jun 30, 2004 I’m not a Nut Ale type of guy, but this was a gift from j_b. At 1st taste I did not like it, but it grew on me as I drank it. I started to forget my bored kids who are out of school for the summer and I mellowed out. The after taste was alittle tinny, but the hot fries I was eating helped there.

Jun 25, 2004 As I poured this and noted the beautiful copper color and perfect head expectations rose. The aroma was a bit understated, but acceptable for a brown ale. Nice malty body balances the hops nicely. Watery? Sugary? Not my batch. Not much of a finish. Just disappears with no aftertaste.

Jun 17, 2004 I’m not impressed with this somewhat bitter, astringent brew that leaves a weird lingering aftertaste. Flavors of tar and charcoal mixed with chocolate in a thin body.

Jun 2, 2004 Very nice beer, with notes of rich chocolate and roasted malt, and a very pleasant after taste. I was quite surprised and impressed with this beer.

Mar 28, 2004 The poor guy who brought this back from Ithaca to Philadelphia swore we had a bad batch of this beer. After reading the reviews here he may of been right. This is a thin, watery brown ale.

Feb 5, 2004 Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly
diminishing. Body is medium brown. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel,
toasted bread), lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers). Flavor is moderately
sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet,
moderately acidic, moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body,
watery texture, lively carbonation, metallic. Off-flavors come out of
the woodwork in the finish (sourness, metallic taint, grainy), and the
aroma is vague and uninteresting. Lackluster-to-poor brown ale.

Nov 24, 2003 A very decent mild and nutty brownie. Quite smooth going down. Nice malty character. Above average stuff.
