This labeled as Downtown Brown but these guys relabel as often as Rogue. Pours a dark brown color with little head. Aroma is of caramel malt and ahealthy amount of floral hops. Taste is very sweet with a sugar spicey flavo, coffee notes an a bit of chocolate. This is a very robust but delicious brown ale.

(Made with molasses and buckwheat honey by Todd Ashman) Deep dark brown, no head. Nose of rubber, molasses, but not really sweet. Taste of rubber, liquorice, sweet (not sugary, neither malt) - like maple syrup. Well bodied, very sticky liquid. This is not quite a brown ale, Todd tells me, but an American porter. It's a style I wouldn't dig - if it weren't brewed by this magician.
