Pours a deep dark red brown with tons of lacing and a lasting thin cream white head. Lots of hops and spice in the nose shocking for a brown ale. Taste is a fantastic balance of hops, sweet brown sugar, and a smooth finish . An excellent twist on a brown ale really a terrific 2012 batch. Growler please!

GABF 2008. Clear dark brown. Nice bready caramel aroma. Bread crusts and caramel flavours, light fruit in the finish. Not fancy, but well done.

Draft at Blackstone. Very dark brown pour with thin foamy head. Light malty aroma with very little hops. Sweet malt flavor with nice nuttiness. A nice mild brown ale.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2007 Draught. Pours dark mahogany with thin off-white head. The aroma is caramel with general malty sweetness in the background and some aromatic hops. The flavor is kind of hoppy, but not as rich as I was hoping. I could easily drink a few of these, but I guess I was expecting something more.

draught. Pours a deep, dark red with a flimsy white head. Fruity, chalky, spicy nose with a bit of raspberry. The flavor is pretty similar: hints of raspberry and an odd hoppiness. The malts are a bit weak for a brown but suggest dark chocolate. This is a pretty unique brown ale.
