Feb 23, 2009 12 oz bottle from a Winter Beer 10 Pack purchased at World Market for me by my wife. Pour is clear golden brown with a full one inch off white head. Decent amount of carbonation visible. Aroma of hazel nut semi-sweet maltiness, touch of dusty cardboard present. Taste is the nutty malt of the nose plus throat lozenge cherry sweetness. Sweet was quite disjointed from the nuttiness. Finish is quick and crisp. Palate is thin-medium, clean and nicely drinkable. Decent enough brown.

Jan 27, 2008 Bottle. Amber brown pour with thin off white head. Aroma of caramel and nuts. Taste of malt and caramel. Pretty thin finish. Not terrible, but not great either.

Nov 17, 2007 Part of a beer of the month club. Pours a dark brown with a small, off white head into the pint glass. Scents of nuts, brown sugar and spice. Very doughy, biscuity and malty with a medium mouthfeel and nice finish. Middle of the road brown ale.

Feb 3, 2008 bottle from BOM club. pours a light brown with a 1/4 " white head which dissipates to a thin lacing. slight sweet malty aroma. medium body with a highly sweet top, yet mellow on the sides of the mouth. some nutty and caramel flavors linger in the finish... a bit too thin though on the finish. overall a very drinkable brown ale, but there are much better ones out there.

Aug 6, 2008 Foggy brown pour. Smells of some nut and light malt. Some roasted malt molasses with descent carbonation. Not real complex to say the least. Clean finish, drinkable. Probably not a bad beer if you’re planning on having many.

Apr 30, 2008 A very light shade of brown, more amber than brown really. One of the palest brown ales I’ve ever had. A very small 1/2 inche white head formed at the top intially but dissipated quickly away. Virtually no lacing.
It was hard to smell much of anything, slight earthy scent, maybe a little nutty.
The taste was much more pronounced than the scent, very nutty and a caramel malt.
A bit watery in the mouth, goes down like water. It’s been said before, but I’ll reinforce the view, it tastes very similar to Newcastle Brown, save it’s a bit easier to drink and a bit more flavourful.
