harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jul 22, 2006 I would not quite has characterized this as a brown ale. Seemed a little to light for a brown, almost an amber. Like a wheaty type yeast strain, with some corriander and clove, with a bit of husky funkiness floating around in their as well. Caramel and toffee, with some nice nuttiness, that is very underplayed in the maltiness. Interesting, but needs some work. BeerandBlues2 (2370), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 18, 2006 Draught. Pours nut brown with a spotty and patchy head. Aroma is clove, caramel malt, corriander, nutty and light sweet milk chocolate. Medium bitterness, caramel and nutty malt flavor, clove and yeast (sweat, leather) and buttery finish. Medium bodied and smooth, dry palate. glkaiser (864), Seattle, Washington, USA May 17, 2006 On tap at brewpub. Very nice spiced aroma. Corriander, cinnamon and maybe vanilla. Very interresting take on a brown. My favorite at the pub. waolsen (906), Littleton, Colorado, USA Mar 5, 2006 Seasonal Winter on tap 3/5/06. Brown amber with nice clarity. Very spicy aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste just like it smells but the pleasantly balanced with the spice. Spicy aftertaste, very complex. Some amber qualities. Nice
