Taste is light malty with caramel notes, roast bitter, fruity with notes of citrus and a coffee and roasted malt bitterness. Intensive bitter hop notes in the end, very dry biter finish.

Mar 9, 2009 Pours a brilliant brownish amber color with a puffy off-white head. Notes of weak coffee, bitter chocolate, licorice, and some caramel. Mouthfeel is rather thin and the taste is one dimensional. Over all just ok. Brown ales are generally not my thing.

Mar 7, 2009 Pours a thin yet dark brown color with a fluffy, off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus hops. Taste is a little dark bitter chocolate, coffee, grapefruit, and ash. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Nice lacing too. Plenty of bitter hoppiness in the back of the throat - more than expected for a brown ale. Very enjoyable.

Mar 6, 2009 Updated: Apr 2, 2009Bottle. Pours hazy deep reddish brown with a nice frothy tan head. Aroma is toasted oats, almonds, chocolate, and citrusy hops. Taste adds coffee and a little bit of licorice. Medium body, slightly creamy. Finish is bitter coffee and hops, but a biscuity taste lingers after a while.

Mar 3, 2009 Pours brown with a tan head. A ton of coffee in the nose with a slight tart or bitterness. Flavor has more of the coffee with a good amount of bitterness, too. Tastes like a strong cup of dark roasted coffee, black. Nice brew.
