Dec 18, 2008 Wow. Definitely was not expecting such a tasty brew. Smell is malty chocolate. Taste is crisp, a little light and very chocolatey. Slight sweetness, minimal recoil, slight hoppiness on the finish. Lacks the depth of something like a DFH IBA, but this can be drank in quantity. Also, this brown ale may be a little more appealing to the skeptical masses than a heavier brew. I will forsurely be picking upeth of more...forcertain.

Dec 6, 2008 Enjoyable brown ale that lives up to its claim of chocolate taste. With a creamy mouthfeel, it was like a chocolate cake smoothie on the tongue. Quite interesting. Would have again.

Dec 5, 2008 Pours a dark copper brown with a one to two finger creamy light tan head. The aroma is mildly grainy, sweet, some caramel, earthy malts, mildly nutty. The flavor has a caramely sweetness to it, very full, mild earthy bitter hoppyness, some rotten fruit. Very full mouthfeel.
