Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 11/12/09

Aroma: The nose on this one is sweet malts, some nuts, dark fruits, and chocolate
Appearance: A clear dark copper-red color, actually, the descriptions right, mahogany describes it better, minimal head, some lace
Flavor: The flavor is like the nose with more emphasis on the toasted malts and a little more bitterness
Palate: This is a medium bodied brew with a decent mouthfeel, and quite a bit of carbonation
Overall Impression: I actually thought this one was pretty solid, and it appears to be just a bit underrated here in my opinion. I’d buy this one again, it drinks pretty nicely.

bottle. pours a thick dark brown color with not much head. has a sweet, malty aroma with a bit of chocolate. flavor is bitter with a very nice warm, nutty aftertaste.

[2111-20090421] 12floz bottle. Mild toasty malt aroma. Clear, dark brown amber body with a quick foamy light tan head. Mild toasty malt flavour has some toasty bready yeast. Medium body. Fair.

Shared by Blankboy with Jerc and Mabel and I. Appearance: Ruby red, small white head. Aroma: Soapy, nutty, malty, floral and a slight amount of alcohol. Flavour: Nutty, malt, chocolate, bitter with a long dry malty - nut finish. Nice.

My bottle (12oz) shared with garthicus, jerc & mabel. Pours a slightly hazy deep orange-amber with an average size off-white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt, nuts and some fruit. Flavour’s malty and nutty with a light bitterness and what I think is alcohol in the finish. Average bodied. It’s fine, I found it just O.K.

On tap at Novare Res in Portland, ME. Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head that settles down quickly leaving spotty lacing. Nose is roasted malt, toasted nuts, some brown sugar and caramel. Flavor is too watery with slight molasses, roasted chestnuts, caramel malt. Too much carbonation. Not offensive but not great.

2009-04-21. Dark brown body with a modest tan head that fades. Aroma is interesting, dusty malt, mild nutty touches. (6+) Flavour is well balanced, light bitterness and nutty/toasty malts. Average palate. Decent, serviceable brew. Bottle shared by Blankboy

Consumed while my sinuses were messed up, so may have to re-rate in the future to add stuff about the aroma. Nice pleasant aroma. Somewhat fruity. Medium mouthfeel. Lacing sticks to the glass like glue. Suitable crispness that I’d expect from a brown ale. A good brown ale.

Brown pour and lots of carbination.......Slightly roasted aroma. This is the second or third time I’ve had an Arcadia brew that was wayyyy to carbonated for my taste. And a touch of medicinal mixed witht the roasted and nutty flavors. OK. not outstanding.

Pours a relatively clear, fizzy, medium brown with decent tan head. Malty molasses aroma. Flavor is not particularly assertive, but has nice malts, molasses, dried fruit, nuts, and finishes lightly bitter. medium-thin mouthfeel. Smooth, drinkable, all-around good but not stellar.
