Dec 1, 2006 Updated: Dec 8, 2006Light Brown in color with a small head. Hoppy aroma with subtle wheat and nut tones. Very smooth tasting and not very strong. Fairly sweet. A lighter brown ale.

Nov 1, 2006 12oz - Aroma is hoppy with roasted nutty malts. Pours transparent brown with a small head and decent lacing. Flavor is less than aroma and not very strong. Palate is a little sticky but mostly clean. I was a little dissapointed in the flavor and overall not very impressed.

Oct 3, 2006 Surprisingly good considering the median score of 2.7. Light brown/red, lots of carbonation and a thin head. Smells like a dunkel, lots of malt and rotting fruit. Flavor is also much like a dunkel as well as qualities of a nut brown ale. There is more sweet malt, carmel and roasted nuts as well. At the top of its class for a traditional brown ale.

Jul 29, 2006 Dark brown, clear appearance. Does have nut/almond flavor. MBC makes other beers that are better than this one. I’ll spend my money on those beers instead.

Jul 12, 2006 Good looking brew - a clear chestnut with a lofty, creamy tan head. Has a nice aroma of hot toast, caramel, nuts, and a touch of butterscotch. Light and fluffy in the mouth. Tastes of caramel, light roasted malts, and a nutty, earthy bitterness. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Jul 3, 2006 Made a good appearance, poured a red hued brown with a foamy head that settled into a thin lacing, minimal amount of sticking, good carbonation.
Had a toasted malty nose, grainy with a light butteriness, nutty and a subtle fruitiness.
A malty crisp and smooth medium bodied mouthfeel, good drinkability.
Nice malty taste, toasted grain and fruity, a mild earthy hoppiness, nutty and a nutty yeasty and fruity malt finish.
A tasty and balanced brown from Michigan Brewing, one of their better offering, a welcome addition to my area.

May 7, 2006 Bottle from brewpub- Pours deep copper body with a thin beige froth siding with the edge of the glass. Aroma is straight up malt with mild chocolate notes and some caramel. Sweet chocolate and caramel malts with a hint of raisin bread. Sweet, almost cloying finish with moderate carbonation. Too one dimensional with all the sweetness and lacks any real balance.

Feb 27, 2006 Draft sampler at MBC. Deep brown color with an average off-white head that diminished slowly. Small roasted malt sweet aroma. Medium body. Soft roasted malt and nut flavor with a smooth medium finish.
