Feb 1, 2009 Sampled in Feb 09 from 12 fl. oz. bottle no. 2678-I157. Part of the Saranac Winter 12-pack. No expiration date listed on the bottle or case. The appearance is a gorgeous dark brown with a long standing foamy off-white head, great lacing, and nice clarity. An inviting scent of malts, nuts, and hops. Bolder mouthfeel that holds its texture even after swishing on the tongue for about 30 seconds. The taste sports a slick balance of malts and hopswith a bitter chaser and a slightly dry finish. No aftertaste to speak of. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. Good job Saranac!

Jan 30, 2009 Pours a transparent copper amber with a small, frothy, well-lacing head. Has a slightly toasted and nutty crystal malty nose with some English hops. Starts with average fullness and some biting carbonation with a touch of grapefruity bittering hops and dry, nutty malty flavors toward a crisp finish. Pretty smooth and drinkable, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Jan 25, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light brown body with a fizzy and foamy off-white head that actually left some lacing. The nose is nutty with some light hops and a bit of spice. The flavor is slightly grainy toasted and cereal grains with just a bit of spice on the back end. Really just the average run of the mill Brown Ale with a bit of winter spicing tossed in. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bit of clinginess on the back end. Moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, drinkable, but nothing memorable at all.

Jan 20, 2009 After being fairly impressed with the Indian Brown in the Winter 12-pack, this one was a bit disappointing. Very nice nutty aroma, but the taste was a bit disappointing. Seemed overly simplified.

Jan 19, 2009 Poured a dark reddish brown with a nutty aroma. Taste was very nutty with some nice sweetness. A little too much carbonation? Not much aftertaste.

Jan 17, 2009 Clear bronze with a fizzy head. Toffee, caramel and light coffee in the nose. Nutty flavors up front give way to a dark caramel sweetness. Finishes somewhat clean with lingering woody tinges, maybe some corn sugar remnants.
