3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
4oz pour at the brew pub. Awesome! Poured a dark ruby, fine tan head, light chocolate malt aroma, rich malt flavor, lots of chocolate, slightly sweet, rich and chewy chocolate, an excellent chocolate porter disguised as a brown ale. Pretty darn good.

Light brown in color, clear with a thin head. Watery in the flavor this beer needed more work. More a beer for the masses than a good tasty brew for the geeks. Light in the malt.

2008-09-06. Very dark brown body with a small off-white head. Flavour is fruiter than I would expect from a brown ale (I am starting to suspect the house yeast?). Sweet malt base, very light roast malt. Aroma is similarly malt forward with a light roasty toasty malt, and hints of caramel. Average palate. Decent. On tap at the brewpub.

On tap a the brewpub. Pours a reddish brown with an average off white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted malts and some citrus. Flavors of your standard brown ale.
