Jun 3, 2008 There’s a lot of wood in this one, and a slight astringency. Ruby color. Fairly dry. I didn’t like this as much as the Furious.

Dec 24, 2006 Can. I can’t remember the last time I had a microbrew in a can. A brown color with a light brown head. A semi-sweet malty, toasted caramel aroma with nuts. Earthy, gritty, and malty flavors are push through this beer. A good body with a lasting malty aftertaste.

Feb 10, 2007 Minnetonka, Mn. - Old Chicago Pizza - draft. Dark brown pour, mocha colored head with good lacing. Chocolatey aroma which carries over to the flavor. Hints of nuttiness with a coffee finish. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Very enjoyable.

Jul 18, 2007 Now this is a first...canned. A nice gift from jarspag. Aroma is a little hard to pick up, but the carbonation lifts a nice bittering hops smell with a nutty malt scent. Mostly toffee and cream in the flavor with a nut-brown background complimented by the obvious oats. Quite carbonated, finishes crisp and hoppy on the palate, very easy to drink. Reminds me of a Newcastle on steroids.

Palate: Very well balanced and very drinkable. Really nice coffee-flavor in this one. A wee bit thin.
A very interesting brown ale indeed. Nice to see that there are now more and more good beers available on can.

Jan 18, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008Tap @ Hopleaf, this is a re-rate sort of! Thought I had the bender a month ago, actually was the Surly Bitter. This brew was nice, one of the best brown ales I have had. Dark creamy porter like beer with some but faint head. Aroma of nuts, cocoa, coffee, creams, and malts. Not as hoppy as expected but nice balance of all the other flavors. Great palate and nice aftertaste. This one was a lot better than bitter.

Mar 23, 2008 Brown in color with a frothy tan head. The nose showed scents of maple syrup oatmeal, chocolate covered toffee and figs. Medium-bodied with fresh carbonation and a tartness running through the midpalate leading to a bitter chocolate ladden finish.
