Faintly sweet, malty brown ale aroma in this brew. The appearance is clear brown with a small head. This is one of the most delicious brown ales ever, so clean and crisp on the palate, but rich with flavor at the same time. The subtle flavor of the chocolate malts come through, but not sweet, just pure.

Dec 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a nice copper brown with a decent but short lived off white froth. Aroma is quite good for a brown ale, very rich and chocolately, nutty with a good amount of vanilla and creamy. Flavor starts with a rich and heavy maltiness and quickly gets a sharp nut character. The chocolate continues through the finish with a bit of cocoa powder and a slightly dry finish. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish, just a touch. Medium slightly sticky body and a light fizzy carbonation. Really nice brown ale

Dec 17, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear tulip. Pour is cola with a reddish hue and a half inch of quickly dissipating cappuccino froth sitting on top. Nose is barley, malt, nuts, peat moss, and earth. Taste is a gritty, earth cola with the hop and malt lingering into the finish. I can’t rate this outstanding, but it is decent and quite sessionable.

Dec 16, 2009 Aroma has a piercing smell that reminds me of a sweet body spray or condensed fruit product like a fruit snack. After the initial blast I do get malt that I would expect from a brown. This beer is overly carbonated. Hardly gives me a chance to taste the beer. From what I do get it tastes like a porter without the astringent characteristic. Not what I was expecting from Avery.

Dec 5, 2009 Beige head and a cloudy brown color. Caramel malt aroma with some nutty notes about. Smooth and creamy palate. Nutty taste, along with a modicum of chocolate flavor. Heavy amount of malts with minimum amount of hops, but you know that they are there. Leaves aftertaste for a while.

Nov 18, 2009 Great sessionable brown. All of the qualities one would expect. Tons of cocoa, roasted malt, dark coffee, and brown sugar. A little thin but this is supposed to be highly drinkable. Hard to beat for what it is going after.
