Jun 20, 2008 Draft at Flying Saucer Nashville. Pours a dark brown with a wisp of a tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, and vanilla. Lighter side of medium on body. There is nice balance of chocolate, nuts, vanilla, and wet grains going on here, with a subtle bitterness to keep it balanced. Perhaps a tad on the sweet side compared to other US examples, but I think it works hers. This is very complex for a brown ale, and enjoyable. I would have no problem buying this again. One of the better domestic browns IMO

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle from Beerfest at Sudwerk in Davis, CA. Avery is hit or miss for me, and this one missed. I know there isn’t much to the Brown Ale genre, but it was just kinda blah.

Jun 12, 2008 A mighty fine brew! pours a mahogany coloured body with a medium sized tan head. A soft touch of nuttiness in the initial sip which quickly mellows into milk chocolate, almonds and caramel.

Jun 5, 2008 Nutmeg, toffee, and slight powdered cocoa nose. Deep brown with amber hues, and a medium frothy head. Chocolate nutty sweet malts, nice bitterness to balance--more than expected. Beer is well-carbonated, medium bodied, and has a smooth--somewhat crisp--finish. Brown Ales are not my favorite, but this one is excellent.

May 31, 2008 Bottle from the Beer Fest in Davis, CA. I was very disappointed with this beer. I was expecting a more complex flavored beer, but all I got was another typical brown ale. Nutty flavor with a hint of carmel. Average brew.

May 31, 2008 Tasted at EABF. Poured a deep brown with a pretty non existent head. Nutty caramel aromas and flavors. Pretty flat and bland. Not exciting as far as complexity or flavor goes.

May 29, 2008 Pours dark clear brown with a medium head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is very good, especially for a brown ale. Roasted flavors domintae with a nice nuttieness present. Just the right amount of hops balances the flavor nicely. Finish is smooth. A very good drinking beer.
