Mar 4, 2006 Draught at Karl Strauss La Jolla: Dark mahogany, nose of roasty notes along with some caramel and diacetyl. The flavor is nutty, mellow, bland, but does exactly what brown ales should, except for the body.

Feb 13, 2007 Draft at brewpub downtown. Clear dark brown hue with average rocky off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt aroma. Flavor was moderate toasted balanced with an average bitter finish of moderate duration. Medium creamy body. Good brew with homestyle food.

Jul 26, 2007 Draft at the downtown brewpub. Aroma of dark malt, seemingly nuts, and coffee. Nearly opaque brown color with a beige head that ringed. Starts surprisingly fresh and fruity sweet. The dark malt is in the background. The body is medium, and the carbonation is mild. The finish is light and refreshingly sweet - but not in a heavy malt way. Excellent ale, even though the bitter is low. Dark roast aspects are low key.

Feb 2, 2007 The beer had a very dark clear copper color with a reddish tint and off-white head. The aroma had notes of toasted malt and smelled like fresh grain. Notes of coffee and light hops as well. The flavor was of lightly roasted malt and some coffee notes. The was a decent sized hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body.

Sep 25, 2002 Dark brown color, medium head. Roasted malts, medium hopped. Nice nut-brown flavor. Rich smooth malt taste. Full flavor. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty and slightly nutty, not a lot of bitterness.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottled. Thanks Fredrik.
Dark brown colour. Caramelly, buttery nose with some smokiness. Butterscotchy flavour, light smokey/peaty and buttery malty with smoke again. A somewhat complex brown ale.
