This isn’t your Dad’s typical brown ale. This beer makes no reservations of being reeled in or humble in any way. Big beer here, yet it’s not. The aroma is full on roasted malts/chocolate combo, brown sugar and molasses round things out. The beer is dark brown in color with a suprisingly small off-white head. Flavor is full on brown sugar and molasses with a strong presence of roast. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy.

Jul 12, 2008 Silky and very drinkable brown ale... nice roast chocolate aroma .. some nice flavours too, but in truth, doesn’t wow me ... abv is hidden nicely .. drinkable and respectable but nothing that special... ’where are you gonna run’ 9:05 - greg packer ’unknown’

Jul 2, 2008 22oz. Smells like hop rod rye without the rye and tastes like an ordinary brown ale. Decent hops in there, and nicely drinkable. Spiced apple and vanilla dessert notes in the aroma. Smells better than it tastes. I’d session it.

Jul 1, 2008 On draft.
Pours brown in color with a nice half inch of head. Smell is fairly hoppy for a brown. No problems with that. Fairly big on the mouthfeel as well. Plenty of the brown malts and sugars to make this good, but then hits you with some more hops. Easy drinking and very tasty. Good beer.

Jun 21, 2008 A fairly unusually large hop usage in this brown ale. I didn’t get as much of the malt as I wanted to. However it was quite drinkable, especially¥ if you like Pale Ales.
