May 20, 2008 Pours to a rusty brown mahogany body with a tall foamy light tan head. The aroma is caramelized brown and crystal malts with a hazelnut thing going on in the background. There are lots of complexities and nuances in this aroma. Some chocolate brownies at times. The flavor is strongly hazelnut with a bready caramel and crystal malt backbone. Light amounts of chocolate. Subtle hops. One of the better brown ales I’ve ever had. The palate is only lightly astringent with a medium and drying body. A definite delight.

May 19, 2008 Pours a shiny nut brown colour with a full tan head. Roasted nuts, butterscotch and pancakes on the nose. Full, heavy and creamy nutty flavors on the palate. Sweet chocolate cake like taste with a long toffee finish.

May 17, 2008 Pours brown with light tan head. Tastes like a standard stout, I was expecting more hazelnut flavor though.

May 14, 2008 Bomber. Smelled very sweet with maple, cane sugar and burnt wood in the nose. Dark, dark brown...I could see a red hue when held up to light. Very nutty, malty brew with some hops. Finishes relatively clean with just a hint of alcohol burn. Could have been just a bit thicker. Overall very good beer.

May 11, 2008 22oz bottle in an English pint. Pours a very nice, dark brown with red hints. Has a decent tan head, than leaves quickly. No lacing. Aroma of burnt wood and chocolate. This one has a complex flavor that starts sweet with semi-sweet chocolate and roasted nuts. The hops are noticable, but certainly play second fiddle to the malts. Palate is creamy, but a bit thin and watery. Overall, this is a VERY complex, and very tasty brown ale, wish I could find it in 12 oz bottles.

May 9, 2008 Thin on the tongue, but very nutty, slightly creamy. Pours a dark brown, small head. Slightly roasty, more on the malt side, no discernible hop. Pretty complex on the nose. Fizzy carbonation, but not overly fizzy, and smooth on the front of the tongue. A little peaty when you wash it around in your mouth. (Bottle Pour 5/8/2008)
