Commercial Description:
This addition to our beer menu is a stronger version of an American Brown Ale. Chocolate, crystal and amber malts combined with a generous amount of two row pale give this ale a rich and complex character. Cascade and Willamete hops balance out the notable malt and alcohol aspects of this beer.

On tap at the Wynkoop Brew Pub. Poured a darker brownish / orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel, roast, chocolate and I swear I was getting some type of spices in there. Sweet finish. Light lacing left on the glass.

Draught. Pours dark brown with ruby hints and a creamy tan head. Dark chocolate roasted caramel malt aroma, very inviting. Hoppy dark chocolate malt and moderately acidic flavor. Dark bodied and fizzy, spicy palate.

A red-brown beer with a small disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong fruity notes, and so is the flavor.

tap at brewpub-pours a deep amber hue with a small off-white head. big roasty aromas-sweet chocolate and a some earthy hops. good body! I would call this a robust porter. a bitter licorice thing going on. expresso notes in the finish. one of the better of the evening!

Some kind of a big brown ale. Cinnamon color, decent head retention. Malty aoma is pretty mild but not repulsive. Hints of spice. Flovors ar ea bit more on track for the style, with chewy malt and hints of graham cracker. Decent beer.

My first Wynkoop beer, had it at the brewpub and I am impressed. This beer needed to warm up slightly from the serving temperature but as it did it revealed the complexity of the chocolate malts. There wasn't much hop flavor in this beer but then if you threw handfuls of hops into malty brownish beers we'd all be cloning Stone. The malts progress in a wave of bready chocolately undertones. Nary an off flavor in this wonderful low-key yet complex brown ale. My wife commented that no beer had hit the spot like this one in quite some time.

(draught) Very deep brown; dark-yellow head, stable and lacy. Very little nose, disappointing. Burnt tobacco & chocolate; sweetish but not cloying. Virtually no bitterness. Well-bodied, but much thinner texture. Alcohol remains well-hidden. This is disappointing, most of the Wynkoop range I had. What were they thinking of? Even for a brown ale, 8+ % ought to account for something.
