Dark, murky brown body. Chocolate, dark malts and bread can be found in the slightly roasty nose. Remarkably nice. The taste is again roasty, dark malts, caramel, some hop. Lovely... some breadiness and light aroma hop. Probably the best brown ale I’ve had. TheBeerOrg (1583), Kentucky, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Bottle. Chestnut brown color with a thin persistent khaki head. Aroma is a mix of earthy hops and nuttiness, plus an odd talcum-like note. There’s a slight astringency to the hops and a tannic note to the malts that combine to give a taste that is oddly bitter and pleasant. The finish, however, leaves the malts behind and all you have is this astringency, and at times it borders on being unpleasant. A confusing brew. Swalden28 (1512), McKinney, Texas, USA
