Mar 30, 2006 Really flavorful. Chock full of malt and it’s the chocolate type. This rich body is punctuated with rhapsodic waves of roastiness and hoppage. Lovely. Quite nutty, too.

Aug 31, 2000 A good nut brown ale, the best of thier beers I’ve tried, good and malty, with decent hops and a slightly nutty/citrus dry finish.

Aug 13, 2000 A pleasant nut brown. A strong malty taste, almost like an ESB followed by a pleasing nutty finish, however, the aftertaste is slightly sprucey or piney. A great beer to try. Certainly something different...Cheers...

Sep 28, 2005 Dark mahogany brown beer with a tan head that lasts a little while. Pleasing aroma of sweet chocolate. Flavor is excellent chocolate, lightly nutty, medium body beer, with a faintly bitter finish. Yummy. Better cool instead of cold. Reminiscent of the spectacular Fuller’s London Porter, but lighter in all respects. I really enjoyed this one. Purchased a six pack for $7.99 at Broudy’s, Orange Park FL, and well worth the price.

Dec 8, 2005 Pours ruby-brown, fluffy head (gone in moments), with a smooth light mouthfeel. Sweet malty aroma like burnt caramel. Flavor is predictably malty, sweetish, lightly creamy, surifically robust, easy to drink, with hazelnut and coffee/toffee.

Jul 24, 2006 12oz bottle from Party Source - Pours dark brown with a short creamy tan head that stays pretty well and laces the glass. Aromas of chocolate, nuts, caramel. Flavor is malty with chocolate, caramel, nuts, and a touch of roasted malt. Slight bitterness on the finish. Full bodied for a brown and dare I say more porter-like than any brown I’ve tasted before. I liked it pretty well.
