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. jcwattsrugger (5532), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

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. harrisoni (6829), Ashford, Kent, England

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2006 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. BuckeyeBoy (1672), Boise, Idaho, USA
