Jan 18, 2008 From June 2007 tasting notes, sampled at Thirsty Bear. Dark clear bronze with a quickly fading head. Pleasant sweet caramel toastiness and a hint of roast. Nice toffee, caramel, brown sugar and a hint of coffee. There’s a slight touch of maple syrup in there too. Thin and watery with soft carbonation. Needs a little tweaking.

Jan 2, 2008 Sampler at the brewpub, and am I glad it was only a sampler. Mahogany coloured with a wispy head. Grainy, nutty aroma. Flavour of bland brown toast. Not good.

Sep 16, 2007 Deep garnet. Generally wan aroma: rye bread, grape nuts and walnuts. Overall a distinctly unpleasant character of moldy sandwich bread. Dry blonde malt body somewhat clumsily overlaid with a rather brutish chocolatey roast aspect. Dry, fairly bitter finish.

Jul 23, 2007 Dark maroon, amber color.
Rich caramel coffee smell.
Heavily on the side of coffee flavored, with a touch of bitterness, but easy to drink and somewhat thin. This is a decent brown ale, but not my favorite. Worth a shot.
