Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA Oct 19, 2008 I really liked this beer for a brown ale. Lots of caramel and maltyness. All maltyness actually. Rich with nutty flavors, dark, and not one dimensional. djd07 (724), Houston, Texas, USA Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very dark amber color with a small off white head that diminishes very quickly to nothing. The aroma is rich malt with chocolate, and roasted nut. The taste is similar to the aroma with a rich roasted malt with a lot of coffee flavor. Easy to drink and a very good brown ale from Brooklyn. jmm635 (249), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2008 Deep brown color with a slightly off-white head. Strong malty aroma with hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is very similar to coffee ice cream. Too much in my opinion. Not very drinkable.
