Nov 27, 2003 deep brown color, big fat frothy light brown head (one of the darker heads i've seen on a beer other than an imperial stout). aroma is slightly chocolatey with maybe a creamy or milky quality? aroma also has a perfumey/floral quality to it. flavor is slightly roasty malts with a mildly hoppy, slightly roasted finish.

Apr 2, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (nutty, caramel, toasted light bread), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, heavily bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Nice malt aroma with no grapefruit or pine sap to ruin it. Very good flavor balance, but a bit too far off the bitter end (for the style). Looks great in the glass, lasting head over a rich brown color.

Sep 12, 2002 Doughy aroma. Malty, molasses, coffee and chocolate flavor. Exceptionally smooth. Deep cola brown with virtually no head. Excellent label. Trailing chocolate palate, minimally tart. Excellent and surprising.

Jul 24, 2002 Pours a creamy tan head that lasts. Nice, deep russet color. The aroma is sweet with some spiciness. The body is light with a good carbonation. The flavor is fruity, followed by a gentle toffee and nuttiness - very light chocolate notes in the background - and some light spiciness. Extremely well balanced, gentle bitterness. Nice finish that just slips away leaving a touch of dryness.

Jul 22, 2002 Deep garnet in color, the head is frothy and beige, the lace is adequate. Nose is malt, hints of caramel, and light nutlike sweetness. Front is malt and slightly sweet, the top is light, the finish is acidic, dry, nicely hopped and to me a nice representative ’Brown Ale’. Ranks #628 on my master beer list. Thanks Indra’.
