Sep 18, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Hazy deep brown with a foamy, tan head. The head is pretty small and is gone quickly. No lacing left behind.
Aroma: Light nose. Slightly fruity with notes of nuts and light brown sugar.
Taste: Leaning heavy on the brown sugar side with some caramel and a slight earthiness to it. No hop prescience and definitely on the watery side.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium, slightly watery mouthfeel. Short finish.
Overall: A simple brown that could benefit from greater body and depth. Not terrible but certainly not worth seeking out.

12 oz bottle at Shallos in Indy. Appearance is a nice brown hue with little head. Nose is coffee and chocolaty malts. Prune/raisin flavors with chocolate and coffee undertones. Moth is dry and airy. Overall a nice beer.

Sep 12, 2009 This was a purchase of six bottles from Corks and Kegs in Richmond. The brown ale poured a light brown yet clear when you hold the glass to a light. The head was smallish and disappeared. It is sweetish ale with mostly malt flavors and no hops. Nice finish but lacks body.

Sep 8, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #3 of 90. Bottle at Shallo’s in Greenwood. Pours dirty brown, no head. Smell is mostly brown malts, toffee and prune. Flavors follow, goes down light and easy. Light palate, but enjoyable.

Aug 29, 2009 Bottle: as a brown ale, this is getting "out of the style." Pours dark brown with a rich arouma of chocolate and molasses, which I love. The taste falls short of the promising nose, though: molasses, pruney malts with a bitter, dry finish.

Aug 12, 2009 Bottle from Sun Devil. Pours like date juice with a trim off-white head. Smells and tastes predominantly of raspberry tea, brown sugar, hops, and faint cream. Fair, if not strange.

Aug 1, 2009 Aroma reminds me of English ESB’s, malty, nutty flavor with sweet caramel and chocolate undertones. Appearance is dark brown and nearly opaque. Flavor is mostly chocolate and caramel malts, little to no hop presence, perhaps some almonds. Palate is bubbly and creamy. Pretty mundane, but not bad.
