Mar 20, 2005 Thin, roasted malt aroma with a hint of hops. Thick, off-white, fine-bubble head. Lots of cascadking visible carbonation and excellent lace. Head is lasting. Tastes like it smells. An unassuming brown ale. Somewhat under-bodied. A nice very moderate hop finish though. Still not what it could be. Perhaps I am getting spoiled by all of the bigger, fuller bodied beers I have been focusing on. This is good, just not great. Thanks, slikwily.

Mar 17, 2005 Very NICE! Rich and extremely malty with thickness akin to a Scottish Ale. I suppose what makes this a Brown Ale is that there is some moderate hop action going on, particularly in the lingering aftertaste. Love the chocolate malt taste - it’s definitely a keeper. Pretty, fluffy beige head and thickness make this brown ale a true winner. These guys did not skimp on the grain bill. Bravo!

Mar 10, 2005 Dark mahogany with sheet lacing and a foamy head. Light crystal malts and roast aromas. Bitter hops. Caramel and biscuits in the flavor with grapefruit and bitterness. Finishes bitter and malty.

Jan 25, 2005 Deep mahogany amber with smallish head. Nice malt cherry nose with some citrus and faint hops. Med weight with a dry hop finish. Hops, light malt, some fruit and a dark roasted backbone. Very nice

Jan 14, 2005 This might be the best brown ale I have ever tried. Citric hops on the nose. Nut brown pour with a nice fluffy head. The hops come through in the flavor, along with the caramel sweet malt. Slight chocolate and faint roastiness. A nice beer in a non-favorite style, tough to finish the entire bomber.

Jan 6, 2005 Poured a dark reddish-brown with a large (4.5 finger) tan head. Aromas and tastes of nuts, roasted malts, caramel and hops. Nice hoppy balance. Citrus. Body a little on the watery side. Lots of lacing left on the glass. Overall, a very god Brown Ale.

Dec 7, 2004 nice lace. sticky, off white top adorns a dark amber brown body. fairly well hopped, but good balance. caramel malts and citrus hops, must be cascades. malt profile is more prominent in flavor. this is a very drinkable beer

Nov 22, 2004 Pleasing aroma with notes of caramel, and roasted nuts. Pours very attractive medium amber with a well retained tan colored head and lots of lacing. Flavor is quite enjoyable with a rather refined interplay between a nice chocolate sweetness and a bit of spicy, hoppy bitterness. A style winner from a very nice brewery.
