Jul 24, 2007 Draft at the Surly brewery, RBSG 2007. Dark ruby with a beige head. Malty sweet nose, nutty, a mild astringency is noted. Mildly sweet flavors of malt and nuts, a bit earthy, some creamy caramel hints. Velvety smooth body. A big brown, and a well done one at that!

Jun 4, 2007 Deep brown body, nice tan head. Aroma is a bit of nuttiness, plenty of caramel, some chocolate malt, little bit of mollases. Taste is rich for a brown, nice hazelnut touch, with chocolate, light coffee, and almost a cereal type taste to it.

Sep 21, 2009 On tap at Hop Leaf. This dark brown ale poured with a thin beige head and a chocolate aroma. There is a sour, but pleasant, smooth chocolate and roasted malt flavor and a bit of carbonation.

Jan 12, 2007 Very dark brown/ruby body, topped by a really nice dense tan head. Looks very nice and appetizing in the glass. The aroma is lightly nutty. The flavor is that of a brown ale, but a wee bit more hops and richness then the typical run-of-the-mill brown ale. The oatmeal really helps bolster the body making for a much more enjoyable experience all around. Good stuff.

Nov 25, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Sweet malty aroma, very sweet, caramel, chocolate, twangy, a bit earthy, . The flavor is really smooth and layered. No carbonation. Chocolate, caramel, coffee, earthy, definitely shows the English malt.

Aug 6, 2007 Can sampled with Mad_indian, thanks to Faro99 for sending this to me. Pours Mahogany with a beige head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, slight roast, and piney hops. The flavor is sweet caramel, nuts, roast, and finishes with a citrusy bitterness.

Oct 24, 2007 16oz can, no date from hellomynameis, thank you Zac! Pours a clear orange brown with a 1/2 finger beige head. Toasted grain, sweet caramel and vanilla are up front. Hints of chocolate and light roasted malts in the background. Flavor adds light grassy hops and a little more roasted malts. Finish is semi-dry with some roasty malts. Minimal bitterness. Light to moderate carbonation with a smooth medium body. A great brown ale--hooray for the Futurama reference.

Mar 9, 2007 16 oz can. Sea salt and orange zest aroma. Wispy. Moist and fresh. Oat dust and lemon juice. Restrained. Pours a touching florid mahogany, with blood red fringe and a soapy tan head, creamy. Nice lacing. On the tongue, a robust kick of malty sugars and roasted malt. Begins with a salty sea oat sweep and then slides into a coarse and grainy tooth of grain, orange peel, toasted almond and sweet honey. The oat brings in great character to this brown. Not overly hoppy, in my opinion, a nice balance with some floral and resin bitterness in the back end. A rather quaffable and delicious brew. Nicely constructed.
