Growler, pours nice dark brown with somewhat small tan head. Aroma has a nice nuttiness to complement the roasted sweet aroma of the malts. Flavor has a nice roasted nuttiness to it, and a hit of chocolate. Palate is a little light, watery. Overall a pretty good brown ale, wish it had a little more body which would really make it a great beer.

Mar 9, 2008 Growler: Poured with a larger head then most of the Mt. Carmel Brewing family. Aroma is nutty and chocolate. Flavors are a roasted nutty malt. This is not an overly complex brew, but it’s the ideal dark brew to pick up if you’re introducing your buddy into the microbrew world.

Jan 6, 2008 Growler. Im not a huge fan of Brown ales, but this one was pretty good. Pours a clear deep ambery brown, with a thin lasting head. Aroma is very nutty, biscuity, toasty and hints of chocolate and light fruity esters as it warms. Flavor has more toast and nuts, with a sharp roast or chocolate malt character and then as it warms a bit more esters and even some drying astringency.

does not count  Oct 13, 2007 I’m a huge fan of Mt Carmel, especially their Copper Ale, but this one misses a bit. Kind of thin for a nut brown, and has a papery, almost musty note. Easy to drink, but not very interesting.

Aug 20, 2007 On tap at the oakroom in Athens. Left over from brew week. Dark, with a thin tan head. Strange, almost cardboard aroma. Smooth, with a bit of burnt malt flavor. Too thin and watery.
