Jun 27, 2009 The smell of this beer really sold me. The flavour was a little bit weak for the sheer amount of smell this beer was giving off, but it was still above average, certainly.

Jun 22, 2009 Not impressed. I was drinking a chocolate stout with a friend and got the two confused half way between. Either this speaks poorly of the stout or this beer. Not exactly a brown, not bad, just not a brown.

Jun 19, 2009 Pours transparent dark brown with a tall, chunky tan head that has great retention and leaves some faint lacing. Aroma is caramel, a suprising amount of roast, milk chocolate, vanilla, mild fruit notes, lightly toasted and honeyed nuts and some faint planty hops. Flavor is caramel and chocolate milk right away, leading into lots of roast for this style, a hint of coffee, vanilla, toasted nuts, apple pie, lots of toasty bread. The finish is a nice fade of darker caramel notes, apple, roast, and chocolate, but brings some planty, slightly bitter hops and mineral notes in. Palate is medium body with a creamy entry and slightly dry finish, carbonation level is a little sharp but not terribly so. This is a very nice brown ale, easily one of the best I have had, but really bordering on the porter side of the spectrum. I think this would pair nicely with a wide range of foods.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours darker brown with a reddish tint to it. Medium bodied. On the aroma I get malt, slight breadiness and a faint smell of hops. Nice lacing of the glass. On my palate I get upfront bread and malts, along with a slight hop bite. Sticks around nicely and also has great head retention.

Jun 12, 2009 On tap at PP Carlsbad. Clear brown pour, small white head. Roasted malt, nuts, light chocolate, and brown sugar. Good brown ale, nothing amazing though, but that’s natural for the style.

Jun 7, 2009 bottle. pours a brown with a nice 1 finger tan head... lots going on in the aroma - nuts, roasted malts, sweet malts, coffee and chocolate. This is a very flavor-able brown ale. medium body with a nice burst of nuts and slight bitterness up front. soft on the sides with the chocolate taking hold. coffee on the back through the finish and more sweet malts up front at the end. very nice Brown ale.... this is right up there with the best of them.
