Oct 31, 2008 Burnt caramel aroma and light toast. Brown in color with a THICK, frothy and rocky head. Light black malts, toffee, peanuts and a zing of spicy, citric hops. Slight sourness is a minor detractions, but otherwise a definitive craft brew.

Oct 26, 2008 16.9oz bottle. Pours a deep amber reddish brown with a sizeable lght tan head that lasts nicely throughout. Great lacing to boot. Aromas of nutty malts, bready yeast, and a touch of floral hops. Flavors are well balanced, nutty malt flavors intermingle with some hops. This reminds me of Mikkeller’s All others pale, in the fact they are both BIG, and very nicely balanced. I am growing VERY found of this brewery!

Oct 25, 2008 Deep brown in colour with a long lasting beige coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is malty, roasty, some chocolate, nuts, a bit dusty, lightly sweet. The flavour is of roasted malts, toasty, chocolate, some coffee, moderate sweetness. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, some light bitterness but a bit more on the sweet side.
This was tasty for sure, very nice roast for a brown ale. This just goes to show that an everyday type of beer can have lots of flavour and be quite enjoyable.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle, thanks guys! Murky brown, nice thick beige head. Molassy, coffee bean aroma. Slightly tangy, strong hoppy flavor with coffee, sweetish malts and nuttiness. Medium to full bodied, smooth strong carbonation. It tastes like a Mikkeller.

does not count  Oct 12, 2008 Bottle shared with Paul at Volo.
This is remarkably complex and flavourful. Pours dark, dark brown with a head that is light and creamy, maybe "frothy"...but unfortunately not long lasting. Aroma is a perfect balance of cherries, coffee roast and chocolate. A light, malty feel. Big coffee bean flavour with delicious chocolate and light fruit, all very balanced. Bitter finish that leaves you wanting to experience it all over again.

Oct 9, 2008 Pours dark brown with medium head. Roasted, dark aroma. Heavy coffee flavour and strong, good aftertaste. Excellent.

Oct 3, 2008 smoky brown color, small aroma which is almost metallic. flavor is overhopped for the style, overwhelmingly bitter. some coffee, the aftertaste is not the taste of coffee....it is the aftertaste of coffee, like 2 hours after you drank some. why so many hops? doesnt seem to be necessary, and it irritates the smooth mouthfeel id like from a brown ale. too dry, too bitter, too thin. this is interesting, but its not a very good brown ale in my book.
