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.

One of my favorite beers of all time. Dark in color with a smooth and distinct flavor.

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.

My first Wynkoop beer (Ernesto?). However I liked this very much. I love brown ale and being 8.1% is the icing on the cake. It is very malty, and has an extremely chocolatey aroma that (fortunately) didn't translate too much into the flavor. It's actually a very interesting aroma. If this guy made more beer like this I might vote for him.

Tap @ Wynkoop: Poured a mostly clear deep copper-brown color with an off-white head an nice lacing. The hops are strong and cover most of the malt. Some fruity character as well. The flavor was malty with caramel and fruit. Some sweetness. Hoppy middle and finish. Nice warmth.

On draught at the brewpub. This brew is a brownish-orange color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of burnt malt, caramel and hops. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, sweet caramel and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is roasty with a bittersweet chocolate and hops aftertaste. Decent all around.

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!
