Aroma is of strong maltiness (maltose mainly). Hints of chocolate, cinnamon, spices and COOKIES. Some bready yeast. Quite pleasant, with some fruity hops showing through.
Flavours are almost entirely malty at first (like biscuits), with some traces of coffee in there. Have to say I’m not the biggest fan of this maltiness. Mild bitter finish from the hops that give some fruitiness.

Dec 18, 2009 22oz bottle from 16th St. Liquor in West Van. Pours a cola brown with little head. Aroma is deep malt with a slight hint of toffee. Taste is caramel malt with a hint of chocolate and there is some sweetness that covers the hops. Lingering hop bite that marries well with the alcohol. Tastes slightly boozier than the 5.8% claimed. A good beer, very enjoyable.

Nov 23, 2009 22 ounce bottle thanks to BrewDad, autographed by the brewer! Pours a dark cherry color with a medium white head. A sweet malty aroma, some citrus hops and toasted notes. The flavor is similar; sweet toasted malts, light chocolates, a pretty strong hop presence with light bitterness in the finish. Nice and easy to drink.

Oct 7, 2009 Pours dark red/amber, tan head. Aromas of cocoa & pine.
Flavours of roast malt initially, followed with those nice bitter american hops giving a piney kick. Roasty choc finish.

Oct 4, 2009 Pours a dark mahogany amber-brown with a creamy head with decent retention and some lacing. Aroma is sweet and nutty - chestnut & just a hint of molasses. More of this in the taste - chestnut & cola, just a bit of ginger & teryaki. Good carbonation, and a silky, creamy body. Great, quaffable brown ale for the fall. Yum!

Dark cola pour with a nice near-white head. Heavy malt aroma, plenty of crystal malt and then some, ample cascade hop snap making this into a pretty characteristic PacNW brown ale. Enjoyable if not outstanding.
