Mar 24, 2007 Bottle: Deep brown, fairly dark, moderate frothy light beige head, light lacing. Nutty aroma, earthen malts, roasty, with a bit of cocoa. Pale roasted malts, minor nuttiness, somewhat sweet, with very light pale fruit skin on the finish. Very low hop profile, with a underlying sour aspect that is very subtle. Body and mouthfeel are average. Slightly bitter cocoa lingers, accompanied by a very soft sourness. Not half bad, better than what I expected based on its average.

Dec 26, 2006 This is a straight forward brown ale. It has an aroma of roasted nut and malt and the flavor is similar with the addition of over cooked coffee. It is smooth in the mouth but just a bit syrupy. There is no carbonation and it is possible I have a flat sample. Flavor is also somewhat muted.

Nov 19, 2006 Pours deep brown/red with thin tan head. Aroma is that of coffee and roasted nuts. Flavor contains malts, roasted nut, and a bit of a burnt coffee (black malt maybe?). There were no noticable hops. The burnt flavor lingers a little but not too long. A ho-hum brown ale.

Oct 26, 2006 Pint @ Tyler’s/Durham. Ok nose, lite nutty, cardboard, caramel. Clean orangy brown color, good head & lacing. Bitter flavor, sharp nutty/roastiness dominates, caramel/chocolate is secondary, but noticable. Medium body, lite creamy mouthfeel, bitterdry finish. Huh, a gold medal for this one? Don’t see what sets this above other browns I’ve had. Oh well.
