12oz bottle, Batch #8212. Caramel brown body with ruby red running throughout. Drop lacing comes off of a well retained light brown head. Nose of sweet malts, nuts, caramel/toffee, biscuit dough and some light chocolate notes.Flavor profile is similar, sweetness dominating from the nuts and malts, but well kept in check. I really like the biscuit dough and chocolate notes in this beer. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Creamy palate. Very back end is somewhat astringent. Long finish gets a little watery at the very end, but that’s only a small nitpick. Great brown ale.

Jul 4, 2008 Off taps at Capital Ale House. Dark amber brown with small fluffy white head. Slight roast and carmel malt aroma.
Medium full creamy body with light carbonation. Rich roasty rather sweet with touch of fruityness. Finish is fairly sweet with a bit of residual earthy hop bitterness. Pushing a stout...and very tasty.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy brown with a light tan head. Aroma of toasted caramel malts with notes of brown sugar and nuts. Flavor is roasty with caramel, nuts, grain and a hint of chocolate with a light hop bitterness medium body with a dry finish. Decent brew.

Jun 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a hazy hazelnut brown with a small light brown head that seems solid and doesn’t noticeably dissipate. Aromas of sweet dark malts, some fruity notes, a nutty feel, and a mild hoppiness. Initial taste composed of nuttiness, sweet and toasty darker malts, and a pleasant sweetness that I can’t really put my finger on. Touches of cocoa and smoke also. Finishes nice and bitter but great as the hops come into the picture. A really good medium bodied brown ale.

May 27, 2008 Pours a very deep brown with complex-for-a-brown smell of autumn. Good malt flavor and texture. Quality beer.

May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown body with a lighter tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, fruit and earthy. Flavor is that but the flavor also yields the low abv with this delicate malt blend.
