Jan 5, 2009 330 mL. Pours a clear reddish brown with a small head that settles to a thin film. Mid to low carbonation. Not much lacing. Aroma of malt and burnt sugar. Taste is quite impressive. Start bubbly with some hazelnut and caramel but ends with some spicy hops. Watery mouthfeel. Long, watery finish.

Jan 2, 2009 Light black (!) body with thick brown two-finger head that softens nicely into the glass... malty presence undeniable... sugars tantalize while the hops balance nicely at the nose... smooth, almost perfectly "brown" in its presence, with the liquidity of a stout and the hop body of a pale ale--easily drinkable... sugary impressions early, with some chocolate, smoky something (?) and toffee to sweeten the deal... satisfying--especially on a snowday nightcap--with the smoothness of a Newcastle and a flavor that sets BBA a step above Sam Adams et al....

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Clear, chestnut-amber coloured, small beige head with a little lace. Fruity-chocolatey nose with subtle influences of toasted malt. Moderate bitter-sourish flavour, medium bodied. Lingering fruity and toasted finish with a light bitterness. Pleasant, well crafted stuff.......

Dec 23, 2008 Pours dark brown with nice head. Aroma is slightly roasty caramel and some dark sugary aromas. Flavor is rich and roasty with nice sweet malt aspects as well as decent hop biterness. Palate is full for the style. An enjoyable brew.

Dec 8, 2008 Cloudy dark brown color beige head that fades. Good lacing but quiet carbonation. An admirable look to this beer. Tangerine citrus smell and a malt presence. A complex and textured aroma thats very hard to describe. Sweet malt taste is foremost flavor along with nut. The palate is somewhat heavy and oily. A lack of bold hops leaves this ale unbalanced and inferior to english standard bearers.
