Dec 28, 2006 Clear reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is very nutty with caramel notes.
The beer is medium-bodied, oily, and velvety on the palate. Toward the sweet end but good balancing bitterness.
I had this on tap, and from the reviews, it sounds like tap is the way to go with this one.

Dec 23, 2006 22oz bomber from my Secret Santa (Numenor), no date. Pours a clear copper orange with a three finger light beige head. Aroma is of toasted malts and light citrus hops. Flavor is much the same with a slight addition of roasted malts. Lightly bitter finish. A bit thin bodied, moderately carbonated. Not too bad of a beer.

Oct 17, 2006 Whole Foods, Alexandria, Va. - 22 oz bomber. Medium copper pour, good bubble action, thickish khaki colored head. Pleasant baker’s cholocate aroma. Flavor has hints of the same chocolate, some nuts, a smidgen of maple syrup and day old coffee. Thickish mouthfeel. Very decent.

Oct 7, 2006 On tap... poured rich brown with off white head. Alcohol is blended well with sweet malts and nuts. Very smooth and non-abrasive. I can see this one being very seductive and luring one away before you know it. Solid Brew.

Aug 17, 2006 Thanks to Numenor for this one!
A huge rocky head forms above this clear dark amber brew.
Light malt aroma that is repeated in the flavor. An unpleasant sourness goes all through this one and makes it a disappointment. A bit light even for a brown ale, this one needs more nutty malts, a bit of body and to be cleaned up a bit.

Aug 5, 2006 On draught at the Tap House in Norfolk, Va. Pours a deep mahogany with an off-white creamy head, 1/8th-inch retention and nice lacing. The bouquet consists of sweet ’n sour nutty aromas. Lots of sweet malt upfront, with a hint of nuts, and a subdued caramel finish. The palate is indistinct and a bit muddy. Although a little on the sweet side for a traditional brown ale, overall the brew isn’t bad.

Jul 26, 2006 Dark amber/brown color with a huge bubbly head. Lots of bubbles trail up the glass from the depths. The aroma is very mild, just a touch of sweetness. Flavor is also very mild with just a touch of nuttiness. A very weak brown ale despite the respectable alcohol level.
