Aug 1, 2009 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.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/27/09. Dark brown, hints of ruby, tan head. Nice caramel and nut aroma. Not an incredibly strong flavor, but good roasty sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel.

Jul 20, 2009 Sample from bottle at PIB. Deep brown pour with red highlights and a small tan head. Aroma big on caramel, light smokiness and some light citrus/pine hops. Flavor much the same, though a little bit more balance than the smell. Enjoyable and I’d imagine quite sessionable.

Jul 18, 2009 Bottle @ PIB... Poured a deep brown/ruby with a beige head. Malty aroma. Smoked and caramel malts dominated the flavor. A little too mild and boring. Could of used more alcohol or hops.

Jul 3, 2009 Nice aroma of a brown ale. Lots of malt in the first sip. Caramel. Chocolate taste lingers. Nice without being overbearing as many American browns are.

Jun 24, 2009 Pours brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, chocolate, and maybe a touch of smoke. Decent flavor, ends with a touch of bitterness. Good brown ale, but the style is a not my favorite.

Jun 23, 2009 Sweet carmel and chocolate are joined by grapefruit and strong jammy fruitiness in the nose. Clear ruby brown body is topped by a shy tan head that recedes rapidly to a thin partial cover and ring. Nutty up front along with some chocolate character. Burnt and grainy dark malts are apparent in the aftertaste along with tealike tannins after moderate to strong bitterness. Plenty of citrus hop flavour. Somewhat astringent medium body with prickly carbonation. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (hand-written #4 in marker on the bottle cap) purchased at Brewery Creek in Jun-09.
