Nov 29, 2008 Tap @ SPH. Pours a clear, deep brown with a frothy and lingering off-white head. Aroma is malt, wood notes, and very assertive hops. Taste is the same, with wood notes, dark fruit, and malt up front, dissolving into a wonderful complementary hop bitterness. It’s a very well-done and off-beat brown ale.

Feb 8, 2009 Pours a light copper brown with a thin head. Aroma is light nuttiness, doughy god burnt toast note and slight chocolate and some herbal hops. Malt is a bit bigger int he flavor- more toast, more earthy bready doughines nutty, and charred chocolate malt- solid brown ale.

Nov 28, 2008 Imperial pint @ the Ginger Man. Pours with a large, frothy head that sits on a dark, clear, brown body. Aroma is bark, bitter hops, and a slick maltiness. It all melds well, comes of as a hoppy English forest. Taste. is bitter, bark, prune, and hops. I got to talking with other RBians, so my notes end here. But I thought of this is a fine, slightly more hoppy, slightly stronger brown ale. Nothing to write home about but a damn fine beer.

Sep 9, 2008 On tap at SPH. Arrived at the table brown with a thin off-white head that lasted through the first two sips and faded to a ring, leaving a spotty lace film after each sip. Pleasant aroma of caramel with some mild spice. The flavor is caramel up front followed by some some moderate hops bitterness and some mild spice. Medium bodied. Very much in the English style. Enjoyable.

Oct 16, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Pours a slightly hazy brown with a strong tan head. The aroma is toasted and mildly sweet crystal malt, nutty mild cocoa and a hint of coconut. Fluffy body with a solid flavor- hazelnut, cocoa, and toasted notes into a mildly bitter finish. A balanced and well integrated Brown Ale.

Oct 27, 2008 Draft. Plain brown with a reddish hint around the edges. Aromas are almond and nutty, with a bright caramel malt and some orange citrus hops lurking in the background. Balanced palate. Lots of chocolate and caramel malts. Short dry finish.
