May 21, 2008 Draft... DLD’08... Dark brown ale with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Great retention. Wafts of milk chocolate and lightly toasted nuts ascend from the glass. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and almost-expired carbonation. Sweet and chocolaty with decent English hop bitterness. Balanced, cocoa finish

Nov 29, 2008 Tap. Not a bad beer but not the best thing ever. Full color and flavor but a bit imbalanced and grainy - like Pizza Port’s American Brown.

May 2, 2008 Not a bad brown. Decent beer, but normally I don’t order off of the main line of beers here anymore. Pours dark brown with thin tan head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. The flavor is actually pretty sweet for a brown ale. Has a little bit of chocolate, but it is a little too sweet. Still not a bad beer though.

Oct 16, 2009 Draft sample at Chicago.
Poured a hazy dark brown color with a minimal frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Medium roasted grain and chocolate malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium chocolate sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
Good drinkable beer.

Oct 21, 2007 From the tap is pours a deep brown and is capped by a bubbly tan head. The aroma holds sweet roasted malts, chocolate, and a a light nuttiness. It’s a bit thin, but the malty sweetness is tasty and the nuts balance the drink out. Sessionable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Dec 5, 2007 Draught at the brewpub
Black color. Roasted malt aroma. Light body, but smooth texture, with roasted malt flavor overall, and chocolate and ashes too. Good bitterness level. Too much roasted malt in the final. Not my beer, but good.
