Bottle into Dimpled mug. Pours a dense brown color with a plentiful tan head. Laced nicely. Aroma was a sweet hoppiness and roasted goodness. Flavor was a rich candied (toffee and chocolate) vibe ith a nice amount of other sweet balanced by th roastiness and slight bitterness. Drank very creamy and satisfying, but didn’t overstay it’s welcome. Frankly, much more enjoyable than I expected. I’ll drink again, I suspect.

Jul 15, 2008 Ok, I was impressed with this one. Maybe the best thing I’ve experience in New Orleans. Nice tan foam, deep dark color. A bit of a sweet taste with a chocolately finish. Did not remind me of what I traditionally think of a brown ale, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, I was pretty impressed by this.

Jul 14, 2008 Nice foam that lingers. Semi dark beer. Aroma of burnt malts. Some bitterness and sweetness but well balansed. This american brown is one I would like to have more of and preferbly on tap.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown body with an average size tan head that disappears. The aroma is mostly malty with notes of roasted malts, some dark chocolate, some grain. The flavor is moderatley sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is moderately bitter and leaves a burnt taste with a slight hint of metal. Medium body with a watery texture and zippy carbonation. Seems out of kilter with the sweet notes followed by such a harsh finish.
