Oct 5, 2009 Pretty decent beer: a little too hoppy for my taste, but a lot of guys I know love the stuff. I prefer their darker beers (milk stout is incredible). I also love that they are a local brewery to me.

Oct 4, 2009 Pours a murky brown.
Nose is raisiny with lots of brown sugar.
Taste is foul, just too sweet, odd fruit flavors that i would not want in this style, gross off flavors. I wouldnt drink this again even if it was served in jessica alba’s snatch.

Oct 2, 2009 2009 Bottle - Pours a solid brown with a large tan head...aroma is perfumed grain, fruity malt and floral hops...flavour is similar, roasted grain, dry malt and floral hop bitterness, one of the hop varietals provides a lavender soap element that I can’t decide if I like or not...interesting interpretation on an otherwise boring style...

Sep 19, 2009 Pours a nice light brown with a small head. Not much of an aroma, except a bit of malt. Taste is lighter than most browns, with some floral hops. Finish is clean with some floral hops, not real bitter. Fine, but not that interesting.

Sep 4, 2009 Ruby-red and brown at the same time. Head is very healthy fluffy 2 inch foamy tan. I smell rubber at first and then malts. The smell is not bad by any means, in fact it is quite good. It tastes like roasted malts and is hoppy. Bitterneness on the label is accurate but not what I would expect. Nice stuff.

Aug 28, 2009 On draft at the new Pizzeria Paradiso, thank you Jeff. Medium brown color with tan head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Taste of chocolate and caramel, more malt than hops, but with a decent bitter edge.

Aug 20, 2009 12 oz bottle - poured a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, nuts and chocolate. Flavor is a nice, smooth roasted malt and caramel flavor - with a strong character of chocolate. Not bad at all.

Aug 7, 2009 Serving: Draft at Fireworks.
Appearance: Deep amber-brown with a small, foamy, light tan head. Minimal lacing left behind.
Aroma: Very malt oriented. Lots of caramel, nuttiness, and chocolate. No discernable hop notes.
Taste: Again the malt plays center stage here. Chocolate notes, caramel malt, some earth, and light roasted notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Medium finish.
Overall: A very solid brown ale that is a showcase for malt. I found it very enjoyable.
Would I buy it again: Absolutely. It is quite tasty and can be found reasonably priced.
