Dec 1, 2006 [Cask] Very dark brown color, with a really excellent, dense tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Flavors are very nutty, roasted malts, some dark caramel and hop bitterness in the finish. Very smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel.

Apr 1, 2005 Dark brown black color with a sweet scent to it. Flavor is not overly complex but hop and malts seem to be well balanced. Very drinkable beer.

Mar 31, 2005 Mild nutty character to the lightly fruity, sweet aroma. Opaque dark brown coloured body with ruby tones. Tan/brown head recedes slowly to ring and partial cover. Chocolate, nutty malt character with mild balanced bitterness in the finish. Medium-light body with fair-moderate carbonation. Sampled at the brewpub with dirtymike, MartinT, muzzlehatch, Rastacouere and Volgon.

Mar 29, 2005 New England Road Trip Easter ’05 with MartinT, tiggmtl and Rastacouere, beer #14. Small sample at the brewpub, also in the company of Volgon and brewer Dirtymike. Deep brown-black, nearly opaque with a small but lovely bit of head...very, very sweet cherry-hazelnut nose with thick malty goodness...some woody character in the sweet body which becomes fairly dry and just a touch thin at the end...close.

Mar 29, 2005 A tan ring covers te dark brown hue. Mostly nutty aroma uncovers dry marzipan essence and both earthy and chocolatey undertones. Surprisingly roasty for a brown ale, the nutty maltiness is quickly losing its match in the favour of a considerable dryness. A fuller body would help this one as it already counts on a pleasant creamy texture.

Mar 28, 2005 Deep caramel, vanilla and hazelnut sweetness hug the roasted malt bitterness...Prickly carbonation emphasizes the dry ending...And the mildly complex malts reappear for a final bow...

Feb 7, 2005 Had at Milly’s. Black in color with almost no head whatsoever. Wicked fizzy mouthfeel that was kinda sweet and roasty.
