Jun 4, 2008 6-2-08 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to rbuckstar
Semi clear red amber with a thin film of ivory beige head. Smell is malt and roasted nuts but is super subtle and almost sweet chocolate or fruit like. Flavor is sweet malt and some dough as well. Medium to high carbonation. A hint watery, thin and sweet but good overall.

Jun 3, 2008 Bottle in trade from rbuckstar. Thanks man!
Pours dark brown to maroon with a light tan head. Smell is nutty, toasty malt and cocoa. Taste is cocoa and malty, with a nutty flavor and a nice dose of balancing hops to keep it from being overly malty. Very drinkable. Flavorful, yet a tad thin bodywise, but still one of the better browns I’ve had.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark orange-brown with small beige head. Aroma of molasses. Taste initially medium sweet molasses and caramel. Then moves through citrus-sour to slightly bitter, ending in lingering sweet/sour caramel aftertaste. Mouthfeel: low carbonation is surprisingly lively palate cleansing.

May 13, 2008 tried 2/23/08: bottle. Smell is faint of malts. Palate features light carbonation and soft, somewhat oily mouthfeel. Simple sweet flavor with light cream and balancing hops. Well crafted, but not particularly interesting, I was disappointed.

May 11, 2008 On tap @ MacGregors. Poured a dark amber color with a slight tan head. Aroma was slightly sweet malt with some caramel. Flavor was that, along with a little bit of bitter at the end. Not bad.

May 9, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown to red color with a nice tan head. Aroma was both sweet malty and bittering hops. Tasted good when eating something salty, otherwise it was too sweet. The bitterness seemed to be an afterthought to balance a sweet beer. Overall it was a good drinkable libation.
