Jun 14, 2009 Big thanks to Bboyshatter for sending this want along in the under 100 BIF.
Bottle poured into my Sam Adams glass. Ended up giving me a finger worth of white head that trailed of to a thin lace, this is of course on top of a nice reddish brown body.
Aromas of nice caramel sweetness and a light roast came into my head. Surprisingly I didn’t detect any hops but in the first sip I got hit with them. The flavor of the brew is lightly sweet but tends toward the hop bitter finish. This is really unique brown ale to me in that aspect that the hops are so pronounced. I am so used to my locals that this is a pleasant change a medium feel to it in my mouth and light carbonation.
Easy to drink and quite sessionable I would go back for more

Jun 13, 2009 Aroma was stinky ringwood funk and malt. poured dark brown with small tanish head from low carbonation. flavor was a little more bitter than most with some nutty flavor and lots of ringwood funk. medium bodied. Really can’t handle beers made with ringwood yeast anymore except for a select few.

Jun 7, 2009 spicy brown ale with bitter hops and a grapefruit tinge it is a touch sweet and malty and yes buttery indeed, yet silky enough to be the brown that the rest often cannot be. i go some stainless steel like taste but knew why as this brown was taken to the limit... a bit beyond practicality and to that i say thank you.

Jun 5, 2009 Dark brown pour with average sized head. Nutty aroma and flavor though a little more bitter than I am used to for a brown ale. Taste was a tad metallic too.

May 27, 2009 This was an all around horrible beer in every respect. Pours a very dark brown. Smells horrible,and taste ever worse. Tasted more like a ’Bock’ than a Brown Ale.
Not even a good chaser beer after pounding back a few other beers beforehand.

May 13, 2009 Blah. A very thin and weak brown ale. This style is hit or miss with me and this was a miss. Pour was a light thin brown with a one finger off white head. Aroma was alcohol, stale malt and old beer. Taste was very thin and watery. Roasted malt with a hint of caramel and an underlying nuttiness that never quite comes through fully, but is detectable. Had that nuttiness come through more this would be a lot better. Decent carbonation.
