Sweet and malty aroma. Flavor is malty with a bitter finish (very very slight rubber band flavor at the finish). Highly carbonated. Dark amber in color.

This is another very solid brown ale. A little on the dark side for a brown ale, but good flavor and texture make it a great 1st beer.

very complex, but a bit over-bearing, love the aroma created by the dry-hopping

A decent dark beer that does a good job of mixing coffee and chocolate flavors. Excellent cost-quality ratio.

I was pleased with this beer. Dark with a nice mild chocolate that is hidden a bit by the hops. Good head and nice lace on it. Good stuff and one that I will have when the opportunity arises.

I had this a couple months after the reccomended date on the bottle, I dont know how much that matters. Has a nice malty aroma but its a little weak. The flavor is similar, has some good hints of flavor, but as a whole its rather weak and plain.

Best brown this side of the Atlantic!

A gem in the hell hole that is Lewisburg PA and the Shangri-La camp site. rich malty aroma, burgundy color, incredibly complex malt taste. hops work brilliantly. One of the best browns I can think of. I got so excited about this beer that i passed out with a pizza box on top of me.

This beer tasted OK at best. I didn’t think there was heavy hopping for aroma or flavor at all. Could have used a maltier mouthfeel and taste to match the aroma. Still a drinkable brew - it grew on me as I went through a six pack over a week or so.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had this... and I was at a great Jazz show in NYC, but I believe the beer was good too. Slight metallic taste was hidden by hops and malt. Pretty decent.
