Jan 1, 2008 Not the best I’d hoped for, but still decent. Initially it is hoppy, but then it finishes with a pleasant earthy taste. Despite it not being particularly grand, I did finish two glasses before I knew it.

Dec 28, 2007 12oz bottle from Bevmo La Mesa. Poured a deep brown with garnet highlights when held to light. Beer had a 1/4" head that receded quickly to form a nice ring around the edges. Malty/bready aroma with some caramel present. Mouth feel was light and almost watery. Taste had some roasted sweetness along with hints of chocolate and caramel.

Dec 17, 2007 Bottle: Pours an auburn brown with a dense tan film for head. Earthy malts and dark nuts in the nose, along with a cocoa hint. Frothy carbonation. Nice, soft crystal malt flavor. Light notes of toasted cocoa and a late nutty roast character, and the slightest touch of smokiness in the finish. A solid Brown Ale.

Dec 13, 2007 Sweet aroma, malt chocolate flavor, with a burnt/nutty aftertaste. Smooth but with a little bite in the finish. Very drinkable but also has a lot of flavor.

Dec 7, 2007 Poured with no head, color a deep brown as expected. Aroma malted chocolate plus alcohol. Taste is pleasant toasty roasted malts at first, abruptly changing to watery Lipton tea-bag. Hops are barely perceptible as a backdrop of dish-soap. Alcohol very prominent as a flavor despite the beer being only 5%, perhaps due to the light hopping & lack of floral aromas. Quite creamy mouth feel, with small bubbles. I agree that this might be better as a nitro pour. As is, tastes like a weak porter needing additional floral hops.
