May 11, 2008 One of the best Brown Ales I’ve had! Full of roasty chocolate malty flavors. Pours clear brown with minimal white head. Goes down smooth, with sweetness, wood, smoke and chocolate all in the flavors. Pretty clean and yet sweet and, well, brown!

Jun 7, 2007 16oz can, courtesy of Schutzenliesel. Thanks, Tom! Pours a dark mahogany color; light tan head with good retention and lacing. Generous, dried fruit and candy sugar aroma; red fruits and tea-like malts. Medium-to-full, malt-dominated mouthfeel: surprising amounts of milk chocolate and roasted malts (almost like a light porter); medium-to-lively carbonation; dense, layered maltiness with a hint of sharp citrus hops; beautifully done. Lengthy, caramel and chocolate finish. Probably the best brown ale I’ve had.

Nov 23, 2007 dark brown, nice large beige head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy, with a nice maltiness. Flavour is hoppy, but very subtle, with a nice caramel. Wow, this is a great session beer, crisp, and flavourful, i could drink this all night!

Feb 18, 2007 From a growler. Dark brownish color. Smell of malt, nuts, coffee, chocolate, toffee and caramel. Taste of the same but better with a wonderful lingering bitterness. What a great beer.

Apr 14, 2006 I had two frosted tap mugs out on the patio at Old Chicago. My first impression was the medium/dark chocolate colour. Has a nice smallish white head, and the first sip was fantastic. I could hardly contain myself! Smooth and hoppy, chocolate with subdued expresso notes, this was MY beer. I will continue to seek and destroy this brewerage.

Aug 27, 2007 16oz can from the new roommate Megan (what’s better than a roommate that brings you beer back from their weekend vacation?!?!). Dark brown almost black color with large, creamy tan head. Aroma is caramel and light pine hops, and chocolate. Flavor is nice roasted malt, med sweet, pine hops, light chocolate, quite a lot of flavor. Very nice body to balance out flavor, ful bodied and creamy. A very good beer.

Jan 3, 2007 Pours a very dark amber with a big frothy off white head that quickly fades. Very nice aroma and flavor. Great mild sour malts and hops. Hints of coffee and chocolate. Has sort of a refreshing tart finish. Another winner (from a can).

Jan 22, 2007 Thanks to RagallachMC for the can. Deep brown, with crimson light coming through when you hold it up. Medium head, spare lacing. Aroma of earthy and floral hops, sweet grains, nuts, caramel and chocolate malts and coffee. Texture is creamy, body is full. More like a stout. If this is a brown, it’s the best damn brown you’ll ever taste.
