argo0 (6284), Washington DC, USA Sep 22, 2002 Brown red with nice creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Fairly sweet, moderately caramel. Very smooth, easy-drinking ale. Nice beer for what it is. acrdz (4486), Boulder, Colorado, USA May 23, 2004 Deep burgundy and brown color. Dark tan head... sweet plum and grapes with a caramel malt hint in the nose. Sweet and sticky, with plums, cherries and sweet sugar flavors, not bad for the style at all. JPDIPSO (4344), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jun 13, 2002 If I remender this was entered as a brown porter in the GABF, and it does fit the style very well. Walnut color with a light head. Aroma of dark malts and chocolate. Chocolate and roasted malts in this flavor with a schwartz beer finish. Better than most advertised brown porters. heemer77 (3827), Savannah, Missouri, USA Sep 6, 2006 I had this both on cask and off the tap. The body was dark brown with some garnet at the edges. There was a light yellow and khaki colored head. The aroma was caramel with some milk chocolate. The taste was light caramel with some light tobacco in the finish. There was a hint of chocolate. This was smooth and easy to drink. Braudog (3464), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Jun 12, 2005 This is a ruby-brown. Bitter nut flavors, chestnut, tingly bittered with a sharp finish. Can see why it’s won some medals, dead on for style. Pretty robust on the brown ale spectrum.
