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.

Thanks to cmaruschak for sharing. The beer is a dark amber color with a medium foamy off-white head with good retention. Minimal lacing. The aroma is mildly malty with a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture. The flavor is more hoppy than expected, along with malt and chocolate. The finish is dry and hoppy with a bit of a fruity aftertaste. Pretty enjoyable overall.

22oz bottle via trade with kenb! - thanks Ken! - Pours dark brown with a nice tan head that stays pretty well. Aroma is big hops upfront notes of pine mostly but underneath there was some chocolate and nuts. Flavor is hoppy upfront as well but there is caramel, light chocolate and some nuttiness. Even some roasted notes there. Palate is medium bodied and on the creamy side. Pretty good carbonation. Not a bad brown overalll.

On tap at Pilsener Room, Portland and brewery tap, Pacific City. Deep brown with lasting beige head. Great malts, toffee and subtle roastiness. Very drinkable. Dark malts, bit of choc/coffee. Lovely soft feel in mouth. Really tasty and lovely malts.

22 oz bottle via Pelican Brewpub. Pours a clear dark amber with a nice large dense head. Aroma is a typical brown ale, not much to say....a bit of nuttiness. and a little diacetyl butter. Taste is pretty much the same. A little bit of chocolate malt and some subdued hops underneath. Medium body. This is just not a style i care much for, but i think for the style, it is a pretty good one.

Pours a nice dark brown color. Aromas of nuts/chocolate/caramel. Flavor is nutty with a nice sweet honey chocolate taste and a little coffee bitterness.

Chestnut colored ale with a rich creamed head. Very well balanced brown w. nice roasted malts and hop balance. Would make a fantastic session beer, good for any occassion. Moderately complex, absolutely no off-flavors.
