Dec 16, 2005 I thought this was pretty good. I finally found out why I like some brown ales. There is quite a difference between AMERICAN brown ales and ENGLISH brown ales. Aromas were a bit weak and metallic. But the flavor only had a little metal in it. Lots of nuts and chocolate. I found it to be better than these ratings. Good. Thanks SuIIy.

Dec 15, 2005 Lots of chocolate... I really liked this beer. Delicious maybe a little bit too dark for a nut brown ale.

Dec 13, 2005 (12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with Pailhead, thanks Kevin!) Sweet, caramely and toasty initially, which is quite pleasant, but it develops a bit of spiciness and some weird chalky flavor in the finish that I’m finding rather distracting. Too bad, because the initial flavor showed much promise. The nose is sweet, caramely, malty, and a bit earthy. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated, but there’s an odd chalky mouthfeel in the finish. Ruddy chestnut brown color is fairly hazy, and the light tan head pours small, settles to a ring and leaves no lacing on the glass. Wouldn’t be a bad brew at all, but the aftertaste is a bit unpleasant and has a deleterious effect overall.

Nov 2, 2005 Pour is a caramel brown with light off white head. Nose of caramel, malts, nuttiness. Flavor is very bland, some nuts and malt, hints of the alcohol but barley.

Oct 26, 2005 Had a malty caramel sweet aroma. Amber body with not much of a head to it. Decent mild caramel flavor that was easy on the palate. Decent brew.
