UPDATED: FEB 10, 2009 Draft at BW3 downtown Indianapolis, IN. Ivory fizzy medium sized head that mostly diminished with sparse lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and a ruby hue. Sweet, malty and caramel aroma. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel and nutty. Mouthfeel was smooth and thin. Re-rated on 2-5-09 at Trion Tavern, New Haven, IN. Poured a medium sized tan head that was very bubbly and mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, minimal visible carbonation, and an reddish-brown hue. The aroma was brown malt, caramel, semi-sweet, and nuts. Ditto for the flavor along with some chocolate and a bitter finish. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. Nice balance, easy to drink and would be a so-so session beer.

Dark brown, decent tan head. Roasted nut aroma. Taste is rich....malt, roasted nuts, chocolate... Slightly, lightly porter-ish.....very easy drinking. Not outstanding, but a good, solid beer.

Notes of nuttiness in the aroma. Pours dark brown with minimal head. Good tastes of nuttiness and roasted malts throughout.

Draft. Brown pour with no head, yes it is almost flat. Roasty taste and thin.

Sweet roasted malt and an overall nutty flavor. Aroma is full caramel malt. Rich taste. Carbonation is medium. Medium bodied. A solid beer, but it seemed slightly overpriced for what it is.

draft pours out dark reddish brown with nice foamy white head. the aroma was of roasted malt and some slight chocolate. the flavor is quite nice the body is rather light but yet refreshing the roasted malts and chocolate come out. can taste that bit of nuttiness. very decent beer.

Pours a rich copper with a thick white head. It has a fruity, slightly malty aroma. The taste is of grape nuts/wheat berries and a slightly sweet maltiness. The mouthfeel is pretty watery, which is a little detracting.

Dark red brown, with a persistent low head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a hint of dark roastiness. Flavor is lovely... Dark roasted barley over biscuit and mild sweetness. Medium body with fair complexity. I would drink this again.

Pours a medium bright brown color. There isn’t much head and it is a bright white. This beer smells a little sweet and almost fruity. Not a lot on the nose. It tastes of chocolate and coffee with a bit of a malty/nutty aftertaste. Light bodied, drinkable, just not much flavor. I guess I am getting used to the "American" style Brown Ales.

Excellent beer. A little sweet with a slight nutty flavor. Tastes like the nut brown version of fat tire.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 12 oz bottle pours brown with a off white head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and smoke. The taste has the same notes in them.
