Dark and clear brownish red. Lots of malts, with a slight hop astringency in the background. Some drying, roasted coconut, light chocolate macaroon. Some grassy notes too. Okay beer; not a brown ale fan.

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.

(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.

Very sweet caramel taste. There are also undertones of chocolate and and dark breads. There is a alcohol taste that comes across in a smooth manner. Pleasing beer.

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.

Brown pour. Creamy head. Lots of coffee in this one, more than most browns. Some light floral hops and very light roasted nuts. Flavor has a good does of coffee with hint of hops on the finish. good brown ale.

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
