Jun 4, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown. Tastes malty and soapy. Not much to this one really. It’s OK but not that memorable.

May 18, 2009 On tap at the Beechtree. Pours a deep clear brown with a medium beige head. Nice stout or porter like aromas of roasted malt, with a hint of coffee. Medium bodied and with more roast coming through, and a touch of sweetness. Finishes with a nice roast bitterness and a little bit of grain. Somewhat one dimensional, but not terrible.

May 8, 2009 Pours a nice reddish brown. Aromas of toasty malts, brown sugar, and nuts. Flavor is lightly sweet malts and a nice touch of hops, and a nutty finish...it is what it is...

May 3, 2009 Even though I don’t love really nutty nut browns this one is balanced by sweet malts, almost brown sugar like with a little roasty bitterness to balance it out. Light and easy.

Apr 30, 2009 Malts dominate the nose with only a slight hop aroma. Medium ruby color, slight head, but durable carbonation. Caramel and chocolate malt flavors balance with some nuttiness. Some residual sugar and acid in the finish. This isn’t bad, but Rogue and Dogfish still rule this particular style.

Apr 30, 2009 Dark ruby color--light does shine through. Modest head that settles to a single layer of bubbles. Good lace on the glass.
Chaulky cocoa smell. Weak.
Quite thin, almost like water. Light chocolate malt with a mild hop kicker. A little one-dimensional, easy to drink, but not fascinating.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle poured into a standard pint glass produced a finger worth of tan head that settled to a thick lace. The body was brown in color with burgandy highlights when held to the light.
Aromas of nuts and sweet malts filled my head. The flavor had some toasted malts to go alone with the sweet malts. There is a medium feel in the mouth with good carbonation for your tongue.
I think this is a typical brown ale good flavor and easy drinking. I like a few local browns better but I wouldn’t turn this down.
