beersun (12), California, USA Mar 26, 2007 Wow, this one is fantastic. The complexity of the body and the finish is spot on, without being overbearing. Extremely full of flavor without being too extreme. An strong example of the style. kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Apr 17, 2008 Balance, Balance, Balance. From the red-brown color to the hop-malt-hop taste. This is a special brown ale with a sizzling head. BigBen2120 (554), Gardiner(52 miles from Allagash), Maine, USA Aug 18, 2007 Pours a hazy translucent brown/copper with nearly an inch of off-white head. Smells nutty and fruity. Tastes nutty and fruity at first, with a pleasant roasty coffee and chocolate quality emerging toward the finish. A slight astringency toward the finish too. Very drinkable - one sip definitely invites another. Medium creamy body with a decent amount of carbonation. Wow, what a good brown ale. A new favorite for the style! n0rmann (1), Leominster, Massachusetts, USA does not count Aug 16, 2006 I actually loved this beer. I place it up near the best Nut Brown Ales I’ve had. I love the bitterness you don’t usually get with a brown. Very smooth. Hints of chocolate and finishes with a great nut taste. A little surprised by the low reviews, but that’s the great thing about beer, everyone has personal tastes. groot (7), USA does not count Mar 27, 2007 Updated: Mar 28, 2007this is a favorite on tap at flatbread in portsmouth, nh. super smooth with a subtle toasty finish. hoppier than most classic brown ales. organic aspect a huge plus to this smooth brew.
