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.

For a beer from an unremarkable style, Doryman is a rare find. The beer has a rich toffee charcther with some nice bitters. The beautiful brown head lasted for nearly the entire pint as did the lacing. I could easily drink this beer often, as it makes for a very relaxing drink.

By far my favorite commercial brown ale. I have had it from the source and from the botlle. Very roasty and sweet, followed by a relatively hoppy finish. Its almost like an infinitly drinkable porter.

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!

On tap at Pelican Pub & Brewery Pacific City OR. Pours out a dark brown with a small head. Very nice Brown ale.

Definitely not a British style Brown, much more complex and large. A little bitter and chocolatey at the end - probably the most challenging brown I have had. Excellent brew.

Nice brown color,small light tan head that had a decent hang time and faded slowly to leave a nice lace behind.Mild malt aroma with a bigger emphasis on hops and citrus coming through in the aroma.Nice flavor of light malt and hops are the predominant flavor with some citrus and grapefruit and just a mild hint of pine as well.The after taste is fruity and piney with a nice mild finish of bitter hops.Not a bad brew at all,but nicely done and fairly well balanced IMO.Well worth getting if you can find it.

I actually like the eccentricity of this beer - the roastiness and the hops - quite a bit. The body is a bit weak, perhaps, but the sweetness that builds through the rougher features is very nice. Sean (hennes) says this one borders on a porter, but I don’t like porters and I like this brew a lot.
