May 28, 2007 Draft- not that impressed, Some metallic flavor going on there, that I am not sure can be attributed solely to unclean coppery tasting taps. Either way, not a good thing. Loved the Mission trail Pale Ale, and that is a much better and enjoyable option.

Oct 10, 2005 On draught at the brewpub while during trip to California. Dark brown colour nearly no aroma, just some roasted tones. A very borring taste, speciel for a nut brown. Hints of the flavour of little roasted barley, some dryness to the end.

Jul 10, 2005 Draft at SDBC. Maybe I should stop being so hard on brown ales. I have found another one I actually like. Dark brown with a decent head. Left nice lacing. Aromas of mocha and roastiness. Flavors were the same with a decent nutty aftertaste. Pretty tasty.

Apr 5, 2005 Tap. Nice roasty aroma with lots of chocolate maltiness and cocoa powder. Smells good. Moderately hazy brown color with a light tan head. Quite roasty and toasty with a nice sweet finish. Coffee notes and chocolate are present. Has a great body and mouthfeel. Good work.

Oct 13, 2004 (Draft: San Diego Brewing Company in San Diego, CA) This is one outrageously nutty beer, probably too nutty for the style, but I really don’t care, it’s frickin’ delicious! The nose is very strongly nutty, quite malty, and a bit sour; And the flavor echoes the nose, being strongly malty and nutty, very toasty, moderately bitter; The mild sweetness fits well; Medium bodied, but rich, velvety and smooth; Ruddy mahogany color; Bubbly, light tan head maintains a thin layer, leaving thick, bubbly lacing behind

Feb 8, 2004 Clear red-brown with a thin head and light lacing. Nice toasted malt flavors with balancing floral hops. Strong roasted malt flavor balancing hop bite and lingering bitter finish. Light to medium body and nicely carbonated.
