General_Gao (2480), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jul 22, 2005 Had this on tap at the brewpub. Dark brown color with thin head. Aroma was faint brown sugar and roasted malt. Slightyl malty without being sweet. Hint of roasty flavor without much in the way of hop flavor or bitterness. Pretty much what you would expect from a brown ale. Decent but not sexy. DocLock (4085), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 19, 2005 Deep copper color with minimal head. Aroma of some caramel malt and toffee. Tastes roasty malty with some caramel, toffee, and brown sugar hints. Medium to light on the palate. BlueDevil0206 (122), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jun 12, 2005 Updated: Jun 23, 2005Draught. Appearance, ironically, is this beers best quality. A nice reddish brown with a thin off-white head that produced some decent lacing. Aroma was sweet and one-dimensional with no hop at all. Flavor was also sweet caramel and toffee with little to no hop flavor or bitterness present. Very Coke-ish and almost void of beer characteristics. Dissipointing. MrRomero (1881), Wiesbaden-Biebrich, Germany Jun 4, 2005 Draft at the brewery: Poured a reddish brown with a decent sized white head. Not a lot of aroma on this one. Slight hops. Flavor is mildly sweet with light roasted malt and a touch of chocolate. Not bad, not great. Jonathan3584 (323), Washington, Washington DC, USA May 30, 2005 A boring, unnoteworthy brown. Drinkable, but very overpriced ($4 for an imperial, with no discount beer nights in sight.)
