Very dark brown color with a medium head. Just a pinch of malt and nut on the nose. The taste is not too shabby at all... a little malt and chocolate, but none of the nut I would look for in a brown. It’s not bad and one of the better Breckenridge beers out there.

Tap @ Breckenridge brewpub, Downtown Denver. Pours dark amber, small tan head. Light aroma of malt, caramel, lighy hops. Taste is rather weak with same flavors as aroma had. Thin body, soft carbonation, way to weak taste. 290212

Draft at Breckenridge. Pours an attractive deep brown, transluscent, offwhite head. Nose is nice. Nutty and toasty with some grassy English hop notes as well. Crisp and clean nose overall. On tasting, nice level of bitterness, really crisp. Some nice toasty malt notes and a clean overall profile. Really nice NE Brown.

On tap at Breckenridge Blake St. Pours a clear, deep brown color with a small off white head. Bready, yeasty aroma with some roasty malts underneath. Taste is buttery malt and a little bittersweet chocolate, followed by some earthiness with a mild roasted malt flavor, that finshes lightly hopped. Smooth and creamy on the palate with active carbonation and a medium body.

Sampled at Denver Winter Brewfest 2011. Mild see-through brown with light tan head. Aroma pretty enticing with chocolaty malts, but not out of the ordinary for brown ales. Taste is the same, typical for a Brown but still good. Mild hop bitterness at the end. Very average for its style. It’s good, but I cannot help but feel like the brewers just phoned this one in.

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2011 Tap @ Denver location. Orangish brown appearance with a tan head. Slightly nutty, toasty brown malty aroma. Nutty, mild toffee, caramel malty flanker. Not bad but pretty boring like some off Breckenridge’s other offerings.

Tap at Breckenridge BBQ. Pours a brownish amber with a medium creamy off white lacing head. ARoma of nuts, light toasted malt and citrus. Flavor about the same, hints of chocolate, not too great. Watery.

Tap at brewpub.
Pours an average amber with a trashy, candy malt refuse aroma. Flavor is earthy vegetable slop. Watery mouthfeel. No double header with this one. Yuck.

On tap at Breckenridge Kalamath poured a clear reddish brown with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of cocoa, carmel, nuts and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, earthiness and light nuts with a smooth malty finish.
