Oakes (6771), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 24, 2008 Dark brown with a rich head. Nutty sweet nose with a hint of chocolate. Sweet flavour, good body for style.

Rastacouere (5189), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 28, 2007 Clear and headless, but hand-bottled ale of a dark reddish-copper colour. Nutty, chocolatey, dry and lightly astringent, fully grainy brown ale. Fruity, grapey nuances enhance the malt’s complexity while the leafy and firm bitterness ensure balance and drinkability. Strong mineral profile. Earthy finish. A tasty brown ale indeed. CaptainCougar (4595), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 23, 2003 At brewery: Medium brown color with a light malty aroma. Body is smooth, sweet and nutty. Very lighty and appropriately hopped, especially coming from the west coast. Finish is roasted and long lasting. This is one of the best brown ales I've had.
