Poop roast on the nose. Flavor has roast, some chocolate, and plenty of poop added in just in case. Glad I’ve only got this one in a variety sixer. This is not a good brown ale.

Once that subsided, I could detect hints of molasses. This is a very good brown ale. FlssmrBrewAlum (1177), Lisle, Illinois, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Updated: Mar 6, 200912 oz bottle acquired from the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL) and sampled. I didn’t really want all of this, but wanted to see how it was and get it out of my way overpacked cellar. Poured a light brown, largely transparent, with decent offwhite head that sticks around and laces a little. Aromas are maple, nice brown sugary malt, light nut, and some biscuity toffee malts. Initial is light, a little watery, with not much taste. What is there is light biscuity malt and brewers yeast, light maple syrup, and brown sugar, with a touch of bitterness on the finish. Lacks flavor and overall lacks body. curly (650), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
