Apr 4, 2008 Pours a ruby red color. Nice toasted malt caramel aroma. Flavor is quite malty. Some chocolate flavor in there as well. Enjoyable ale.

Jan 1, 2008 Feb. 2005 - This has to be the Budweiser of brown ales. Very little aroma or head...taste was bitter without much flavor at all. I’m always on the lookout for a decent cheap beer of a style I like...this wasn’t it. Hopefully, the ESB will be better (since I bought one of those, too)...but I’m not hopeful after this pitiful showing.

Dec 31, 2007 Pours a deep amber color with a foamy tan head. Aroma is nuts, hops and malt, and flavor is more of the same, with a very light alcohol finish. A good solid nutty brown ale.

Dec 18, 2007 Malty and caramel aromas, nutty taste with caramel on the finish. Appropriately hoppy and more balanced than manyRedhook beers like the Winterhook and ESB.

Nov 29, 2007 Had this beer on 4/7/1999. Color is a deep dark rich amber with good carbonation and head. Aroma is sweet with a rich malt scent. Taste is malty and robust. It starts with a medium body that before it even goes down is showing signs of maltyness. As it goes down smoothly and a bit creamy this maltyness builds up. The finish is a rich roasted malt flavor which caries a slight sweetness followed by a gentle hop bitterness and flavor. Overall I think its excellent, it may be the best Brown Ale I’ve ever had and one of the most well balanced brews I’ve come across.

Oct 3, 2006 Bottle. Honey smell with a tinge of alchohol, dark amber color, and a smooth, sweet, nutty taste with coffee undertones that finishes clean.

Sep 11, 2006 Deep burgundy brown with a small, creamy light brown head. A lot of sweet, fruity, slightly nutty malt in the aroma. A bit like cherries and cream actually. Roasted malt, chocolate and cereal grain flavor. Fruity, floral hops in the background give it a nice touch but the palate is much too watery for a brown ale. Decent enough overall just a bit lacking in some areas.
