Aug 10, 2006 Poured into my Orval glass. Poured dark brown with the makings of head, but it never really formed. Nutty, maple, dark sugar aromas. The flavors come off roasty-toasty, Aunt Jemima, chocolate, and toffee. Slight bitterness. I wish more brown ales had a mouthfeel like this one. Feels like more that water. Pretty nice. Thanks to BeerandBlues2 for this one.

Jul 11, 2006 Pour is a cola brown with a brown head. Aroma is quite nice. Very sweet and creamy with some fresh hops and toasted malts coming through. Flavor is very sweet with hints of caramel and dark chocolate with some maple brown sugar flavor in there. Finish is very sweet and a little alcohol burn at the end. Very nice and different but you could only drink one of these in a sitting as the sweetness is there in a big way.

Jul 9, 2006 22 oz bottle. Nice brown color, the smell is very nutty, as is the initial taste. Pretty good stuff. Somewhat watery finish, which is mildly dissapointing, given the color and texture.
A good beer.

Jul 3, 2006 bomber picked up at a local store. up front this had a decent aroma and taste, but on the finish it seemed too sweet and lacked any lingering flavor. rich brown in color with a small tan head after a vigorous pour. aroma was of caramel, molasses and some brown sugar. flavor was more of the same with some dark chocolate and alcohol.
