The body is a dark ruddy brown with a firm, creamy and quite lasting off white head. Very attractive beer.
<P>
The aroma is hoppy with some sweet crystalized sugar spiked malt and a faint hint of toastiness.

Fore is medium hop bitter with pine notes, medium sweetness malts and more mild toastiness. The aroma tells yhou exactly what to expect. Added warmth gives it nutty and sweeter malt flavors. No real faults with it. No real stellar pluses either, save the beautiful appearance. Dorwart (1829), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2006 Decent dense creamy head of bright white bubbles. Light carbonation. Interesting aroma with leather, malts and some spicy and piney hops. Color is a dark reddish brown. Little bit of roasted malts and a big handful of nuts. Good hop bitterness and dryness. Almost chalky. Little dried peanut skins in there also. Finish is dry and bitter. Little alcohol warming. A pretty good brew. tramp55555 (44), Lisbon, Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 13, 2006 Updated: Sep 14, 2006Bottle thanks to Rudolph. My drunk ass left the first bottle at Coles, so he brought me another on the next visit in exchange for some Terrapin. Pours deep amber with a frothy white head. Malty aroma of sweetened tea and spicy hops. Mouthfeel is medium, with low carbonation. Lots of caramel and nuts in the malt profile, almost british like. Not thick, full, or sticky feel going down. Spicy and medium bitter finish. This sort of like a hoppy nut brown ale on steriods. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2006 hazy brownish mahogony color w/ a gigantic white fluffy head. Aroma is quite sweet lots of carmel malts a light cinamon and other spices and some grassy hop hints w/ a light touch of vanilla. Palate is full & creamy well coated. Flavor is a full carmel malt w/ some nutty pieces.. almsot like what I’d imagine an imperial brown ale might be. Pretty good but nothing special.
