Sep 11, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Imperial Pint glass.
Pours a clear, deep ruby-brown with a finger of off-white head that’s slow to dissolve. The aroma is toasted nutty goodness with some chocolate and brown sugar notes. The flavor is nutty malt forward with some more brown sugar, burnt toast crust and a little chocolate. This brown ale is medium bodied with a strong amount of carbonation. This is everything a brown ale should be. Packed full of malt flavor with a nice body. Didn’t let me down.

Sep 10, 2009 Bottle... Poured deep brown with reddish highlights and an off-white head. This was just as good as the super hyped Pop Skull I had before it. Big, toasted, sugary malts and chocolate on the nose. Foamy, dry and well carbonated palate with vanilla, nuts, chocolate, hop balance and a malt backing in the finish.

Sep 8, 2009 Aroma: some spice--possibly coriander (reminded me of some Belgium beers)
Flavor: Soft nutty malt with coriander like spice.
Comment: I have found most Brown Ales disappointingly bland and flavorless. Perhaps this one is less stylistically typical as it had plenty of flavor as well as an unexpected spice character.

Sep 6, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a clear dark brown with a reddish tint and a light beige head. Aroma is nutty with some nice toffee and caramel, candy sweet. Flavor is sweet and buttery with toasted nuts, brown sugar, and some caramel. Very full bodied with nice soft carbonation. One of the better browns I’ve had.

Aug 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 7/178/09. Pours a great brown with beautiful lacing. Aroma is dominated by coffee and caramel and not a rischly roasted as I would expect. Get a nice smooth sweetness up front, then a mild bitter finish. Very well-balanced brown and not as nutty or rich as many other browns.
