Dec 30, 2005 Medium chestnut colour. Rich malt nose has hazelnut accents and pale malt breadiness. Nutty, slightly toasty flavour. There’s a bit of seediness as well (pumpkin) but that could be from the slight oiliness that helps the sweet, thick body keep moving. Finishes with a bit of woody, off-dry maltiness. Thanks to Marty Jones for the sample!

Oct 4, 2006 They re-named it Darryl and served it from a can at GABF ’06... Clear, deep amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Subtle, diacetyl aroma with notes of caramel and butterscotch which are appropriate for the style. Nutty, lightly sweet caramel and butterscotch flavor. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Chocolatey, mildly bitter finish.

Aug 16, 2008 Draft @ the brewery. Lightly hazed brown body with a tan, patchy, thick head. Nose of rich toast, chocolate malt, cocoa powder... very bready and doughy, dusty even. Flavor is rich and pasty cocoa (dry), chocolate malt, toasted bread, nutmeg, light touch of almonds/amaretto, even some vanilla. Complex, well-made, satisfying and impressive for a brown ale. Smooth, silky body.

Jan 19, 2006 Draught, Oskar Blues. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, nuts), trace hops (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly saccharine. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. An acceptable but unremarkable brown ale. Sweetness in the finish is a bit too persistent and somewhat artificial.

Oct 26, 2006 GABF 2006: Clear dark chestnut color. The aroma was sweet and toasty with notes of toffee and diacetyl. Malty and sweet flavor had a moderate amount of roasted malt. Some coffee notes poke through.
