Commercial Description:
A dark brown color, with a balanced aroma of roasted malts and Northwest-grown hops. The sweetness of the ale, crystal, and chocolate malts blend beautifully with the assertive flavors of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear, rubied brown with a lacy off-white head. Caramel-laden floral nose. Caramel and some chocolate with a dry and lightly bitter finish.

Pours dark red/amber, tan head. Aromas of cocoa & pine.
Flavours of roast malt initially, followed with those nice bitter american hops giving a piney kick. Roasty choc finish.

Pours a dark mahogany amber-brown with a creamy head with decent retention and some lacing. Aroma is sweet and nutty - chestnut & just a hint of molasses. More of this in the taste - chestnut & cola, just a bit of ginger & teryaki. Good carbonation, and a silky, creamy body. Great, quaffable brown ale for the fall. Yum!

Bomber.

Dark cola pour with a nice near-white head. Heavy malt aroma, plenty of crystal malt and then some, ample cascade hop snap making this into a pretty characteristic PacNW brown ale. Enjoyable if not outstanding.

Courtesy of Donfardz64!
Aroma is of strong maltiness (maltose mainly). Hints of chocolate, cinnamon, spices and COOKIES. Some bready yeast. Quite pleasant, with some fruity hops showing through.
Flavours are almost entirely malty at first (like biscuits), with some traces of coffee in there. Have to say I’m not the biggest fan of this maltiness. Mild bitter finish from the hops that give some fruitiness.

Lots of caramel, and sugary sweetness, some slight grain astringency. A nice nutty flavour which is a little swamped by the crystal malt. A fairly average beer - plenty of flavour, and nothing really wrong with it, I just don’t think I’d have another one.

Hoisted back from Oregon and then generously shared by my friend Fred. Pours dark clear amber-brown with big beige head. Smells of NW hops, rich malt candy, and mild fruits and toffees. As close to an amber as a brown, but a bit hoppier than either. Unique. Tastes as if it should be enjoyed shortly after coming ashore after a rainy boat journey. Yum.
