Apr 2, 2008 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown body. Foamy head. Roasted coffee aroma. Taste is also real roasty with chocolate well-pronounced. Also taste of coffee, toffee and licorice. Very creamy texture. Quite bitter as well. Enjoyable.

Mar 28, 2009 500ml bottle.
Served chilled in a mug.
Pours a creamy inch of tan head atop a deep copper-brown body.
Rich nose packed full of roasted malts; burnt toffee, chocolate, coffee, touch of charcoal, with resiny hop citrus cutting through very nicely.
Good thick mouthfeel, smooth texture, carbonation quite soft. Lengthy agressive bitterness cuts through early on and hangs on, and on...
A good battle is fought between hop and malt balance. Plenty of chocolatey maltiness, a touch of liquorice, toffee and coffee in the mix, assaulted by grapefruit, unripe stonefruit, grass and resineous leafiness of the hops. Hugely drawn out finish, slight grain astrigency and assertive bitterness linger, begging for more liquid...luckily my glass ain’t empty yet!
A very full on American-style Brown ale. I’d argue that the malt and hop flavours are nice but a bit incoherent together, but I really enjoyed it!

Apr 22, 2008 Bottle. Clear rust to brown color with a large head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, citrus hops and a hint of cocoa. Very dry, with some bittering hops at the finish.

Mar 20, 2008 The color was medium brown. The head was creamy, foamy, and thick. The aroma was coffee, roasty, and malty. The flavor was strong coffee and rich malt. The palate was smooth. The finish was bitter/hoppy.

Jul 31, 2008 Thanks to Bman1114VR for the bottle! Dark brown pour, thick khaki head and decent lace. Toasted malt and a surprisingly hoppy nose. Toasted malts up front, chocolate and hops on the finish. lingering roast flavor. Unique and well balanced.

Feb 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with big off-white head. Aroma is caramel, malts but also with citrus notes. Flavor is caramel, chocolate, a little coffee with a bitter finish. For me, this was is "stouty" brown ale. But good.

Mar 4, 2009 huge thanks to blutt59 for this bottle. poured brown with a beige head and nice lacing. aroma of caramel, nuts, and dark roasts. flavor was the same with the addition of some nice hop bitter and what seemed to be a touch of oak. medium body with high carbonation. this was a good brown ale.

Oct 18, 2009 this has got a bit of age and travel but is still good. nose is dominated by bready chocolate. chocolate is still present in the flavour but there is also a good amount of tangy hoppiness and malt.
