(12oz bottle) Small beige head atop clear chestnut/cola brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, nut, herbal, some raisin, light bubblegum, clove. Taste is medium sweet, earthy, some caramel, nut, bittersweet chocolate, light raisin. Watery light-medium body.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Hazy dark brown color with a humongous beige head. Has that typical roasted malt, nutty brown ale aroma. Medium body with incredibly frothy carbonation. Flavor is nutty, dark roast malt, and something dusty. There’s some lurking fruit, which might be dark fruit, and I only suspect a sour touch. I expected sour in a brown, but didn’t get it. Which is good this time. Finish is kind of like a cookie, but not sweet. Very pleasant and tasty drink. Seems underrated.

Bottle... Clear burnt orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Beefy, chocolaty nose with yeast and medicinal notes. Flavor matches the nose with moderate sweetness. Medium-bodied and a bit oily with weak carbonation. Finishes brothy and modestly sweet.

Bottle from sampler set. Dark brown with average frothy light brown head. Average aroma of molasses, hops and nutty tone. Medium body with medium sweet finish. Average sweet flavor.

Dark appearance, with sweet vanilla and caramel aromas. A good brown ale, sweeter than most, with a sweet, hoppy, metallic tasting finish. Though I'm not a fan of browns, I can say that this hits the mark.

Pours (you guessed it) brown with no noticeable head. Taste is a bit watery, but very nice.

Deep brown pour with 1-finger of off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, brown sugar, almond, walnut. Tastes malty and nutty, with some late hops and a medium to light palate heft.

Bottle courtesy of adneilson (thanks AAron) poured a clear reddish brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of carmel, cocoa, cola and light nuts. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel, light cocoa and light nuts with a crisp carmel finish.

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

Bottle an extra in a trade. Pours a brown amber body with a off white head. Sweet caramel malt, light nuttiness, chestnuts, and a lingering light coco. Dark fruity esters, thin body with a sweet lingering, hops are subtle and hardly distinguishable.
