I really liked this beer SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Feb 8, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Medium brown in color with a thin white head. An over all nutty aroma with some mild choclate roastedness. Has a sweet candy chocolate flavor , but the body is a bit thin. TheOrange (405), Kent, Ohio, USA Jan 26, 2009 Aroma is of syrupy sweet roasted malts. The pour is deep dark mahogany, with a nice frothy tan head. Flavor is what I like in a brown ale, not as full as I like I had hoped for. The flavor is dominated by the roasted malts, and their chocolate accents. The finish is slower, and very enjoyable. I really like this offering from Natty’s. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jan 16, 2009 Bottle on 09/04/2008. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a medium creamy tan head that persists.
