Oct 19, 2009 Shared a bottle with my special lady last night. This is a great brown ale. Pours a rich brown with a strong white head. Nose of lightly roasted malts, caramel and some chocolate. Taste is sweet, like brown sugar and caramel with a hefty dose of maltiness. Some mild hop character balances the mix nicely. Medium bodied and smooth, this beer finishes smoothly with a rich, creamy aftertaste.

Oct 10, 2009 (Bottle poured into dimpled mug) Poured a dark amber to brown color with a half finger head that quickly diminished. Toasty aroma lets you know that you will be experiencing a nice hoppy bite, and there is no disappointment. Drinks very thin with a nice dry hop bite to finish.

Oct 9, 2009 Drank this while eating Pasta Bolognese. Paired pretty well. The somewhat nutty roasted flavor blended nicely with the meat sauce. There’s lots of maltiness with some grainy aspects. Its not too bold or complex, kind of light, but easy to drink.

12 oz bottle courtesy of msante79. Thanks, Mark! Pours a brownish amber, dark and hazy, with good offwhite head that dies to a smaller head, laces ok. Aromas are a good malty base, caramel, a touch of vanilla, brown sugar, a bit of toffee and tobacco. Nice. Initial is lighter medium bodied, a nice maltiness that preaches caramel malt, a touch of chocolate and vanilla, faint nuttiness, and a light bitterness that balances on the backend. A nice balance, a solid sessionable brown that has some decent bitterness on the backend but doesn’t leave great malt awareness or palate stick. Not a bad sessionable brown ale. Not the top though.

Sep 24, 2009 Too much malt and carbonation for my taste. I am new to browns and I like them but this does not compare to Dogfishhead.
