Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a small, light brown head with excellent lacing. Dark brown body color. Aromas of molasses, toffee, citrus, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Creamy and slick texture with an average duration of flavor. Very smooth beer and excellent aftertaste. Must purchase!

Jan 18, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 2009Draught at Woodward Avenue Brewery and Berkley Front. Reminds me of a cross between a porter and a brown ale; there’s a definite sweetness to the finish on top of the cream and slight bitter bite. Nice body, rich without being overwhelmingly thick.

Dec 1, 2009 Poured into a standard pint glass with a small, fleeting caramel head. Aroma of deep, full malts. Taste is surprisingly complex. Definitely full bodied with flavors including heavy malts, caramel, slight coffee notes, and a nice smooth dry finish. Excellent beer. Everything i was hoping for. I will be going back to buy more tomorrow.

Dec 31, 2008 On tap at Gallos Tap Room. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Hoppier aroma than expected with a good amount of malt as well. Caramel, toffee and coffee notes present also. Robust coffee flavor with some chocolate and caramel. Perfect hop and malt balance. I am not a huge fan of brown ales, but this mutha almost drinks like a porter. Delicious.

Dec 19, 2008 Deep brown, thick creamy light tan head. Aromas of toasted milk chocolate and caramel cola nut warm to hints of butterscotch and dark bread. Upfront soft nutty chocolate and caramel flavors gain a touch of hops in the finish. Well balanced throughout. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, malty finish. Not usually a big fan of browns, but this seemed to hit the spot just right…

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark brown color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was that of toffee, nuts and a hint of coffee. The flavor was very good. Sweet but not too sweet...roasted by not too roasted...a very good brown ale. One I would definately drink again.
