Ruby\Brown color,small tan head that had a short hang time then faded leaving nothing behind.The aroma was mildly roasty a little caramel a faint hint of vanilla.Vanilla caoffee flavor up front with a middle that comes on as being a bit acidic and roasty,then smoothes out in the end with a bit of a caramel and roasty after taste,with just a hint of hoppy bitterness in the end.All in all not a bad brew,fairly smooth and easy to drink well worth having a few more for the summer.

does not count  Aug 20, 2008 Rich & hazy amber color. Not much of a head but the low carbonation goes down easy. Slightly hoppy taste with a distinct nutty overtone. Not a big fan of the brown ales but I would drink this again.

Aug 19, 2008 Pour is a rich amber with a thick head that settled to a thin white haze quickly. The aroma is brown sugar, nutty, and sweet, with a hoppy hint to it. The flavor is real nutty with a little bitter finish. This beer is smooth and refreshing, but nothing real special about it.

Aug 13, 2008 The pour is a clear, reddish amber color. A large, foamy, cream colored head settles slowly to a thin film with a fat edge. Sticky, honeycomb lacing marks the glass well. The aroma shows roasted hazelnuts and walnuts, caramel, brown sugar, and cream. A hint of cinnamon and earthy spice shows on a deep inhale. Flavors are sweet and caramel based, with a persistent hazelnut note that is really pleasing. Brown sugar and vanilla lend nice depth of flavor, while floral and earthy hops balance things out a bit. There’s a vanilla hazelnut liquor finish on this one, which is nice. Medium-light bodied and very smooth, this brew feels like it would be a nice transition brew from summer going in to Fall. Very good beer.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a thick, long lasting Belgian looking beige head. Aromas are very prominent, but is a light roasted malt nuttiness. Flavors are some roasted malt, but mostly light sweet caramel and nuts. Light to medium body with a quick dry finish. Kind of odd for a brown ale, but pretty good though.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle pours a brown color with a off white head. Has a nice aroma with hints of yeast, nuts, slight malt notes, and an overall sweetness. Has a medium-light mouthfeel. Taste is smooth roasted caramel with nutty flavors shining through. Very nice and is a solid nut brown ale.
