bhensonb (2855), Woodland, California, USA Apr 26, 2008 Cask at the brewpub. Roasted "brown" aroma. Opaque brown color with a decent tan head. Medium to full body with prickly carbonation. Flavor is dark roasted malt (but not burnt) with enough fuggles? hop to balance. Finishes malty and dry. Good brown. Unholy_Brewing (287), Melbourne, Australia Apr 21, 2008 ...was surprised at this beer. It was similar to a New Castle, with more quality. Deep flavor with nuttiness, but an overall lighter beer. It was good, and I wanted more. ABUSEDGOAT (1898), California, USA Nov 27, 2007 Rich aroma with roast, nut, caramel and chocolate. Moderate hopping present. After that, body is highly carbonated, somewhat light. A good start and a bad finish. Ale_Drinker (1066), Sunnyvale, California, USA Nov 10, 2007 Damn solid brown ale here. Pours DARK brown (are you sure they didn’t pour me the stout again?). I thought they messed up at first but then had a nice whiff and knew they had everything straight... these guys are pros. They even have a specific glass for each beer they serve. Aroma is malty, some caramel, some roasted malt and also a decent dose of hops. Flavor is slightly sweet with a bitter finish. Nice. Papsoe (9980), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 1, 2007 (On tap) 4.9% ABV in my version. Clear, dark, orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Lightly nutty nose. Medium body, some nutty flavours and a dry finish. A very uncomplicated and highly drinkable Brown Ale. 210307
