Commercial Description:
A 2002 Bronze Medal Winner in the North American Brewers' Association competition. This northern Arizona favorite has a consistent nutty flavor with just a hint of spice in its depths. A slowly emerging bitterness crops up along the way and is unobtrusively incorporated into the smooth flow. It finishes with a gentle nuttiness and spiciness. Excellent with sandwiches and subs.

Bottle at the Marble Canyon Lodge. Pours translucent dark brown with a thin tan head that settles down quickly. Medium body and carbonation. Nutty aroma with a bit of pine. Toffee, nut, pine taste with a touch of chocolate. Dry finish.

Dark brown, almost black, with a deep beige head. Full, chewy mouthfeel, yet it went down pretty easy. Caramel, chocolate, bread crust and nuts. Rather wholesome tasting. Bitterness was mild, but there was a little zing there. OK brown.

Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a creamy light tan head. Caramel, malt and nuts in the aroma. Flavor is similar, with a bit of fruit and hops on the finish. Light and refreshing.

Pours a cloudy reddish-brown with a dense, frothy, beige head. The nose is of dusty, fruity malt, metal and a faint plastic; not particularly enticing. Light-bodied and thin with assertive, fine carbonation, it finishes fairly astringent and lightly bitter. Similar to the nose with a bit of nuttiness added to the mix, the flavor posseses a phenolic/plastic note that overrides an otherwise pleasant brown. This is my least favorite of the three Oak Creek brews that I’ve sampled.

Beer from Deaz from TalkNCAA.com Poured into a pint glass. Darker than I had expected, almost black. No light is escaping this puppy. First sip was surprising, as it was a bit syrupy and thick. For a beer that’s not over 8% alcohol, this is about as slow drinking as it gets. It’s not a bad beer, not by any means, but with as many fantastic craft brews that are out there, I doubt I will enjoy this one again.

12 oz bottle via Hellbilly (thanks!). Pours a clear dark brown with a huge compacted dark beige head. Nose is caramel malts. Taste starts with some caramel, then some biscuity grains, a tiny bit of chocolate and hazlenut. Some floral hops and a bit of spiciness do make an appearance in the aftertaste. Body is light/medium, carbonation is high, a bit too high. Over-all though a decent brown ale.
