Pint glass on tap at the Liars Club in Alpine. Poured a dark brown color with a small dense white head that lasted a only a short while. The aroma was medium-light in strength, and had notes of sweet roasted malts, anise and walnuts. The flavor featured more walnuts, dates, black licorice and a touch brown sugar. The mouthfeel was very very full, this is a malt lovers dream. The finish was short and bittersweet. Overall: A good beer for malt lovers. Recommended.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours dark brown, almost opaque, with a nice thin tan head. Aroma is roasted nuts/malt. Flavor begins sweet and then becomes roasty and carmelly sweet. Flavors of crisp malt and cocoa dominate the palate. By far the best Brown ale out there.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap @ Alesmith, RBSG. Dark amber color, moderately thick 1 cm head. Nutty aroma backed by earthy hops. Lightly hoppy, nice toasted malt finish. Light carbonation. A very nice brown, touched by enough hops to keep it from being boring.
