The pour reveals a clear brown body with a creamy light tan head that dissipates slowly, leaving a complete cover upon the glass. Nose has a black walnut like sweetness, hints of caramel and hops, malt earthiness also noted, quite clean and refreshing. Start has a perfect malt presence, sweet with a modicum of bittering hops at the back, medium in feel. Finish has a masterful acidity, the hops pleasantly spicy, sweet and tart, dry aftertaste, a really nice representative to the style.

Dec 5, 2009 Reviewed 9/20/2009 (bottle):
Pours a very dark brown color body, smallish tan-whitish head, diminishing. Okay lacing. Strong sweet aroma, some spiciness and bitterness. Some smokiness. Some funkiness or something there in the nose. Watery body, some funkiness and smokiness. Slight chocolately. Old chalky chocolate taste. Some alcohol in the aftertaste. Some sourness too. A little odd.

Nov 26, 2009 (bottle - 500 ml) Dark ruby pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasty and nutty with some light caramel and toffee notes. Flavor is roasty at the beginning with a light and smooth caramel flavor in the middle. Finishes rather roasty with a nice nutty flavor. Smooth and easy to drink.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium, laced off white head. Lightly roasted nuts, chocolate, caramel and fruit although subtle in the aroma and flavour. Quite lively on the palate, soft carbonation and some hoppy bitterness. A solid, interesting and tasty brown ale.

Oct 2, 2009 Small reminds me of sour red ales in a strange way, along with bbq sauce & malt. It has great fullness of palate for a beer of 4.5% & great depth of flavour. Lovely malt, slight caramel, then the finish dries out nicely with a bit of earthy goodness going on. Only slight whinge is the conditioning is slightly too intense, less bubbles & I think the flavours would show off even more
