Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma is just sweet caramel malt. The large amount of bittering hops in the taste really set this one apart from other brown ales, a little roasted and little spicy flavor. One of the better brown ales out there.

Jun 13, 2008 Pours dark brown with residual yeast visible. Nice frothy two finger off white head. Aroma has lots of citrusy hop elements as well as some toasty malt and spice. Flavor is lots of burnt malt with caramel and chocolate peeking through as well. Palate is quite rich for the style, almost having a creamy element to it. Quite robust mouthfeel indeed- the boys at lost coast did a good job on this one- one of my favorites of the style.

May 29, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a thin off white head. Nice malt aroma, heavy on chocolate and caramel. The chocolate really dominates the flavor. The beer is a little thin though.

May 23, 2008 Bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery in Greenwood near Crozet, VA. Bottling date October 4. Pours dark strawberry red (strawberry brown?) with a medium head. Big malt aroma (caramel, toffee) with a hint of spiciness. Taste is very much the same with some earthiness and dark fruits. Chocolate comes through in the finish. Pretty good..
