Got this bottle while on Vacation from the Man’s Store. The brewery was still closed. Reddish brown, not much head or lacing, very earthy, just a hint of butter, almost a bit too much carbonation . Light on the palate with a sweet finish.

Aug 27, 2008 Pours mahogany into a shaker. Offwhite head with good retention leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Smoked caramel aromas. Sweet smoked malt upfront becoming sweet and thin and onto a sour finish.

Aug 26, 2008 Thanks to beechbum for this. Definitely past its prime. Light peat, nut, and leather on the nose. thin mouth-feel and over-carbonated. Roast, and sweet malts

Aug 25, 2008 I thought that this ale was great. It looked much darker then it tasted. It was very clean, refreshing and tasty. It was one of the best brown ales that i have tasted in a long time. It was hopped but defiantly not overhopped.i would highly recommend this brew

Aug 20, 2008 12oz bottle, purchased at the brewery. Pours brown-amber, with a small layer of off-white bubbles. Enticing aroma, with toasted malt and notes of cocoa, hazelnuts and caramel. Fairly thin bodied. Roasted malt is the primary flavor, with some cocoa, grain, coffee, and hops coming in towards the finish. Overall, the flavor is a bit of a letdown after the appealing aroma, but its still satisfying and very drinkable.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours a ruby brown with a thin tan head. The nose is nutty, sweet, some toffee, earthy. The flavor was lightly sweet, nutty, earthy, some anise, crisp. Doesn’t taste or smell bad by any means. Very drinkable and sessionable. I would register this as underwhelming as opposed to bad.
