iabeerguy (158), Iowa, USA Aug 3, 2009 Did not care at all for this brown ale. Flavor was a tart bitterness. Not my favorite. Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Jul 26, 2009 12oz bottle at Tag-a-Long Golf Resort in Birchwood, WI. Dark brown pour.Malty, nutty aroma. Caramally and lightly malty, very easy to drink. Baumgartner (108), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jan 29, 2009 Draft at Mogie’s Pub in Eau Claire. Brown brew with a rich 3 finger head(poured from a pitcher); tan in color. Soft nutty aroma with hints of maple arount the edges. Smooth full bodied brew fills the palate. Minimal lacing. Rated after brewing my own brown ale :) Points bump?!?!??? noncaloric (602), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jan 27, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Medium brown-red color with a thin beige head, essentially no lace. Initially faint smell, a little grass, a little chocolate. As it opens up, aroma becomes increasingly dusty. Flavor is malt-driven, somewhere between nutty and grassy, with an earthy finish. Thin bodied, and despite the minimal head, somehow gassy once consumed. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Jan 19, 2009 bottle courtesy of Dalzale. Pours brown with a generous tan head. Smells of sweet malt, nutty, earthy. Tastes sweet and lightly tarte with an earthiness on the finish. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Sep 13, 2008 Deep and dark amber bosy with a lightly offwhite head. The aroma is leathery with some caramel. The taste is leathery with some apples. There is also some nice caramel in the finish. Fairly light and smooth. thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Aug 22, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a rich caramel brown with an off white head that is not very pronounced and dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is of roasted nut and almost a new shoes smell to it...kinda strange. Lots of malt aromas as well and just a touch of hop presence. Flavor is very nutty and sweet. There is a nice malt backbone on this beer with not much hop bitterness to talk about. Very flavorful. One thing, it almost seem s a little thin in the mouthfeel. I could and would drink this again. bookman10 (84), Osseo, Minnesota, USA Aug 14, 2008 A very tasty brown ale. Sampled this at the brewery/grille itself in draft and then later purchased a six pack of bottles. Sweet, nutty flavor. Rich color. Goes well with food. One to look for.
