Some carbonation. Pale malt aroma. Amber coloured and hoppy with some dryness and bitterness in a fresh malt finish. bluemooner (210), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jul 1, 2009 Pours a clear, medium brown with hints of red with a thin tan head. Aroma is nutty and roasty with some caramel malts. Tastes of caramel and roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate, toffee, and a bit nutty with a light hoppy finish. Not bad. BVery (314), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA Jun 29, 2009 BOTTLE: reddish-brown pour, aroma of caramel, malt, and nuts. Thin body, but smooth, taste of caramel and light roast. bboeckl (130), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA Jun 27, 2009 Deep Dark Roasted grains meet thick layers of caramel, malt and vanilla. Hop bitterness is the backdrop. Thin mouthfeel makes this beer more ordinary but I still believe this Brown Ale is underrated on this site. badwhale (51), Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 22, 2009 Spare head, and spare lacing. Hazy appearance. Heavy malt & light hops flavors. Light body, and thin texture. WakeandBake (366), Greenville, Michigan, USA May 30, 2009 Updated: May 31, 2009Bottle. A clear rusty brown color body with a tight lasting two finger off-white head, some lacing left. Aroma of toasty malt,a little nutty and slightly sweet caramel.Flavor is of dry caramel malt a bit of toffee,nutty, a hint of hops, and malty but very little sweetness,crisp and dry ,light body ,medium carbonation, a refreshing light brown,very sessionable.
From the Mountain Mixer sample 12 pack tgncc (582), Bellmore, New York, USA May 20, 2009 Nice aroma of nuts, toffee, toasted malts. The color is a sort of red/chestnut brown, medium tan head. The flavor is nuts, toffee, caramel. It is thin, and a little watery. The finish is fairly hoppy, and lingers. Not terrible, but I expected more from this brewer. bconley (299), Fern Park, Florida, USA May 19, 2009 Sampled at the GOBF. Dark brown color. Very bland smell with some OK malts and nuttiness. Taste is much like the smell. Not a whole lot goin on. Bland malts and light hops. Caramel and toffee hints.
