Feb 18, 2008 Definitely a few steps up from the spotted cow. Had a lot of malty character with some toasted barley along with some toffee taste and some hazelnut taste. A solid beer that I wouldn’t look down on someone for drinking however it’s not my favorite so I probably wouldn’t buy again.

Jan 26, 2008 Courtesy of Alexsdad06, thanks Brad! 12 oz bottle. Pours a nut brown particulated color witha small creamy tan head. Nose of roasted malts, dark fruit, cocoa, with sour notes in the background. Initial taste begins with a smooth roasted malt that really brings out a nice beginning presence to the brew. Also apparent in the mid palate is a deeper smokiness, nuts, cocoa all well balanced and very tasty. Finishing with a mildy hopped palate, sweet malts and lingering roastiness. Medium body. Dry finish. Minor head retention and lacing of glass. Very nice!

Jan 17, 2008 moderate,, good color, nice aroma, bitter if beer is served too cold. Best taste in the 50 to 60 degree range. A beer I enjoy to drink.

Jan 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear reddish-amber with little head or carbonation. Aroma is sweet, with a strong aroma of roasted malt along with nuts and some earthy hints of yeast, spices, and corn. Taste is fairly light and sweet, with tastes of caramel, honey, and roasted malt giving way to a lingering finish of spice and hops. A pleasantly complex but still simple brown ale.

Jan 14, 2008 Distinctively nutty with strong notes of brown sugar and honey. Not much of a head to speak of, but still quite striking in its lighter than usual brown hue.
While perhaps a bit sweet for my tastes, this is a fantastically balanced ale that has a long, smooth finish.
Pair with a sharp cheddar and thinly sliced salami.
