Pint at the brewpub. Very, very dark, almost black and opaque with a nice bit of lasting foam and good lacing...nutty with hints of vanilla in the nose and some sharp late aromatic hops...creamy body with underlying sharp nut-oil bitterness, and a long strong finish.

Draft at the brewpub - Poured a quite dark reddish brown in color with a medium foamy light tan head that hung around. Aroma is of roasted malts, caramel and plenty of hops. Flavor follows pretty closely... lots of hops up front with a medium bitter bite that is nicely balanced by a good malt understructure. I am glad that John brought this one back... really good.

Draft at brewpub, Nice off white head with lasting tiny bubbles, clear mahogany color, hop aroma. A very clean brown ale with a robust hop taste. A very well brewed beer.

Dark brown ale with no head, light roasted nuts and caramel in aroma. Good nutty malt and caramel in mouth, sweet finish. Lighter bodied. Dec. 2004.
