Aug 7, 2004 Smells kinda hoppy with hints of pine. There are also notes of malts in there that give it a nice roasty flair. Smells delicious. Moderately hazy mahogany color with a small off-white head. Thin, vinous, smoked tastes. Hints of chocolate. Decent.

Aug 6, 2004 bottle...slightly murky light mahogany with a medium tan head. Malty aroma (brown sugar), and also some roasted hints. Beginning has a little hop essence leading to a roasted malt middle yielding a nice dark chocolate bitter to finish. This is one of my favorite styles, and a good representative.

Jun 25, 2004 Hazy mahogany brown in color with a large off-white head. Acidic, citrus aroma with subtle fruit and toasted malt notes. Hoppy yet mellow malt charcater.

May 14, 2004 on tap at some diner in southern vermont. this is a brown ale? damn- that is news to me. i seriously thought this was an ipa. dark in color, hoppy smelling. hoppy taste, very bitter. goes down like an IPA, and i consumed it in large amounts like it was one. this was a damn fine beer that was the best beer i had on my trip. (although not the best i bought i believe).

Dec 3, 2003 Kind of muddy red color, pleasing aroma. Nice hop bitterness finishes off a fairly malty taste. Has a lot of similarity to Long Trail Ale/ OC Copper / other alt-German type ales I've tried. Hallertau hops in this? I really enjoyed this one.

Oct 19, 2003 A reddish brown color, dark but not opaque, medium creamy lasting off-white head. A west coast/ English hop aroma( Northdown?) This is a brown?, more of a west coast amber. Still I liked it but it is nothing special. a homemade label if you like that.
