Nov 19, 2006 Quite a credible amber ale. Caramel color with no head to speak of. An aroma of syrup and lightly roasted nuts. Tastes lightly of syrup, balanced off by walnuts, caramel, and the tiniest bit of cream. A bit sweet, but otherwise,not bad at all.

Nov 9, 2006 Thin and on the sour side. Acrid, dry, and not a whole lot else. What a mess.

Nov 7, 2006 Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours brown with an off-white head. aroma of sweet caramel malts, nuts and yeast. The flavor is sour fruit, maple, and caramel. Thin body and weak.

Nov 4, 2006 Nice color, white head and a touch of lacing. Nutty aroma and no touch of Maple in the flavor. Smooth and malty with a good finish. Nothing notable, but solid caramel.

Nov 3, 2006 Bottle. Sweet, nutty, caramelly aroma does feature some maple and is predominately malty. Dark red (brown) body with strong visicarb and a creamy, sticky beige head. Malty and sweet taste, medium body is occasionally watery. Caramel is strongest, but syrupy notes and restrained nuttiness lurk. Like many Browns, lacking in "explosive" flavor. Reasonably balanced and a little milky. I will take this over the Xingu I had earlier, though.

Nov 2, 2006 12 oz bottle
Aroma of lightly toasted nuts and diacetyl with a bit of sourness as well. Flavour is pretty nasty. Sour and thin-bodied with a greasy buttery flavour. Slightly grainy with no maple character to speak of. Blech.

Nov 2, 2006 Aroma is chocolate and shit. Swill smells better. A dark brown appearance. The flavor is really sour but not in a good way. Nutmeg and syrup with a dirty towel thrown in the glass. Musty old socks. An aftertaste of Listerine. This may be one of the worst beer Ive ever had.

Nov 2, 2006 Great beer to drink any time. It may be dark in color, but it isn’t thick and heavy like other brown ales.
