Bottle...near expiry date.
Pours a deep chestnut with reddish highlights. 3 finger mocha cap lasts moderately well. mild carbonation
Musty malty sweet aroma.
Big blast of chewy sweet malts, moderate hop bittering to balance...the finish has a distinctive char from black malts and a bready after taste.
Nice ale...don’t know if I’d class it as a Brown ale...more like a sweetish porter....but very drinkable

Jul 23, 2008 A decent slightly better than average brown ale courtesy of my Secret Santa. Thanks! Aroma was so so. Caramel, peanut and just a hint of chocolate. Pour was a nice dark brown, but no bubbles or head at all. Taste was a nice mix of chocolate, caramel and peanut (sounds like a candy bar) with just a hint of carbonation. A little more carbonation and some fuller flavor would make this great.

Jul 19, 2008 Surprised I hadn’t rated this, a 12oz gift from Dalekliz shared with my gf Cyn on the night the cat moved in, so this beer is in honor of sophie. Pour is quite dark and bretty much black. Nose is sweet, and taste is sweet and overall well a well done brown ale.

Jul 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Friend brought this beer from a trip to Yellowstone. Pours a brown color with a nice medium quickly dissipating head. This beer smells pretty sweet, with a nice malt and caramel aroma. Well balanced and great for a quick relaxing drink.

Jul 17, 2008 Great mixed nuts in the flavor; mostly hazelnut and cashews. Dry hop finish balances the rich malt perfectly.
