This was the best beer here, but that wasn’t saying much. Floral malt aroma. Dark rootbeer brown, thin lace head. Roast, a little molasses, a little coffee. Dry, nutty chickory. Slightly starchy mouthfeel with a medium body. Fairly well done.

Weak malty aroma. Brown ale with good head. Bit carbed, watery. A bit sour with hint of chocolate. OK.

On tap at the Rock Bottom in Pittsburgh. Nice big creamy head like chocolate mousse. Great to look at. Not quiteopaque but almost. Very lovely appearance. Creamy aroma of whipped cream! Makes me attracted to this brew before I even taste it. Some roasted stout or porter attributes in the flavor. Stronger than the other rock bottom brews I’ve had. Has a slight alky bite to it that is absent in their other beers. Good example of a dark beer, dark in taste but not offensive. Friendly yet impressive. Good beer. Much better than Saranac Brown ale and is almost as good as east end fat gary. This is much darker than most other brown ales I’ve tasted. Not too sure if this is in the correct style.

I am generally not overly into brown ales. This draft poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is initially sharp and bitter but some coffee, chocolate and roasted malt flavors come on as the beer lingers. Pretty good for a brown.
