Mar 2, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours dark amber mahogany with dense beige head. The aroma is sweet and slightly fruity with caramel candy and mixed nuts. The flavor is caramel and sweetish nuts (almond, pistacchio) and some spicy and woody hops. Finish is clean. Mouthfeel came across a little thin to me.

Jan 4, 2009 Sample platter on nitro.
Looks more like an amber or lager than a brown. Boring aroma, with very little character. Chocolatey red color. Sweet with a pilsner yeast flavor. Decent brew, but if they didn’t tell me it was a brown, I would not have guessed.

May 23, 2008 Great brown ale. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Full flavored. Almost all malt flavor typical for a brown ale. Not much complexity. Highly drinkable.

May 14, 2008 On draft at Brewpub. It pours a dark reddish body - almost looks like an Irish or Scotch Ale. The aroma is pretty light - but the taste is good. Again, I havent enjoyed the majority of brown ales Ive tasted in the past, but this one has to be one of the best. Apparently it is organic too? Tasted some hops in here as well.

Jan 25, 2008 brown ale, but with a bit more of a pronounced flavour. bit of a sugary flavour, hint of caramel, seemed a tad thin, but a good brown ale.

Dec 28, 2007 Nitro Draft at Brew Pub. Poured clear light brown amber color with thin tan head. Aroma is strong brown sugar. Taste of brown sugar, maple... (mmm... pancakes) Nice finish with some cinnamon spice and I detected a hint of mint. "Good brown ale" I never thought I would write that.

Dec 9, 2007 Nitro at brewery. Pours a clean orange/brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is subdued carmel, brown sugar and oats. Flavor was maple, brown sugar oatmeal with some cinnamin present and a mild copper finish. Not bad compared to most "organic" browns I’ve had.

Dec 5, 2007 Nitro, Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. (moved from Fireside Brown listing). Looks more like a dark amber ale than a brown; thin off-white head with minimal lacing. Minimal aroma; slight hint of red-fruit maltiness. Relaxed carbonation in a medium mouthfeel: dried red fruits and caramel upfront; minimal hop presence; rather light, uninspired brown ale (tastes more like an underhopped amber). Medium, red fruit and sugary finish.
