Jun 6, 2005 Had this one in a growler. Outstanding brown ale. Wonderfully tastly caramel malts, light on the hops for a sweeter-than-usual ale, mine was about a week old so it was a little light on the carbonation but still quite active. Recommended.

May 30, 2009 LOVED IT.
Draft @ brewery. Pours a very nice looking cloudy brown, with a frothy off-white head. Some lacing. Aroma of roasted malts (not over burnt). Flavor similar, a touch of sweetness, and well balanced. Palate is smooth and creamy. Overall I found this to be a good tasting, highly drinkable brown ale. Would buy tons if I didn’t have to drive to Lyons to drink it.

Jun 30, 2008 Draught @ Oskar Blues. Lots of character for a brown. Ruby brown color. Long lasting foam. Creamy texture and very mouth filling. Roast and toast character with hints of toffee, fruits and brown sugar, which leads into a dry, hoppy finish. Fairly nice nose as well. It’s a high quality, well made brown.

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.

Dec 20, 2005 12 oz can. Pours a murky dark tea color with a big creamy off white head that goes to a wispy film that laces the glass.
The aroma is earthy chocolate, a little dark fruit, and some peat.
The flavor is slightly smoky chocolate malts with a little grassy hoppiness. It’s medium to full bodied.
Overall, this would make a nice session beer. It’s pretty mild but tasty. It tastes like mild scottish ale (a mini version of the Old Chub).

Feb 27, 2007 Grain, bread, hops in the aroma on this brown pour. It leaves nice white lacing. Bready malt mixed with citrus hops make for a nice drink with a smooth finish.

Feb 8, 2007 Cask @ HDG. Medium brown with a big bubbled head. Aroma is toasted caramel and sweet grains. Flavor is sweet without being cloying. Nutty and caramel flavors with a hint of toffee and butterscotch. Really drinkable.
