Reddish Brown color. Tan, average foam. Roasted notes in Aroma, more so than hops. For 50IBU’s the hops are countered by heavy roasted and even chocolate elements. These dominate over hops. Medium dry body. Slight alcohol taste upon warming. A hearty beer.

Pours a dark brown with an small size tan head that was gone quickly. Malty along with some chocolate and a big finish of hops and alcohol. A good brown ale.

bottled. small light chocolate colored head. aroma: nuts, caramel, coffee, and hops. taste: good caramel, toasted malts, floral hops

Aroma - coffee, nuts. Taste - medium sweetness, lightly bitter. This was a great find.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark red-black with a large, clingy, tan head that lasts. Taste is of coffee, roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and hops. Slightly sweet. Well balanced. Has a nice dryness and bitterness in the finish that lingers. Similar aroma. Good slick body. Very drinkable and quite enjoyable. Shows no hints of have 7.2% abv. Well worth picking up again.

12 oz bottle. Dark brown, creamy tan head. Aroma is roasty and nutty with some light citrus hops. The flavor is nutty, sweet malt with a little bit of hop bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation and a long smooth finish. Overall pretty good. Don’t get all the hops that they claim...maybe an old bottle, but nice.
