Feb 16, 2008 Bottle from my beer club. Pours a deep brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and slight pine hop. Taste is malt up front with slight chocolate and nothing afterwards. Overall, the body was watery and thin, a letdown from the enticing aroma.

Nov 30, 2007 Unambiguous molasses aroma with wheat bread underneath. Clear light brown, with a thin yellow head. Very, very grainy, of weak to medium strength. Grassy cilantro finish. It’s very drinkable with a low alcohol content, but it is fairly unremarkable. Low end ABA, IMHO.

Apr 26, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Very light color, more red than brown. Some roast and some nuts with a surprising amount of body makes it just aight.

Jun 22, 2009 Spare head, and spare lacing. Hazy appearance. Heavy malt & light hops flavors. Light body, and thin texture.

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.

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.

Jun 22, 2008 Pours brown. The nose has a hint of caramel and nuts. Caramel and nuts seem to be the only thing that stands out. The finish is a little on the dry side.

Dec 6, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a mostly clear, amber-orange colored body with a finger-width, frothy, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is sweeter, hazelnut malts. A light cherry and some other fruits as well, but pretty weak overall. Flavor is slightly thin and watery up front. Nutty malts and a light cherry fruit mixture before this actually finishes with some flavor. Light, earthy bitterness and a toasty toffee make the finish somewhat enjoyable. Fairly dry with a medium length aftertaste. Overall, despite the enjoyable backend of this beer, there’s too much inconsistency throughout. Weak, nutty and malty aroma with a mostly thin, watery flavor. Eh...
