SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA Mar 14, 2008 A decent taste with a quick head that let way fairly quickly. A good balance of malt with the hops and a decent drinkability. StFun (535), Indiana, USA Mar 10, 2008 Had this on tap at MacNivens. Let down with the bar, let down with the brew. Thin, brown, watery. Not a terrible taste, just nothing outstanding. Could have had a bottle of this for much cheaper. Tastes about like Newcastle, Deep Cover, etc. Do yourself a favor and just get Rogue’s Hazelnut Necter if you want a good brown ale, this is just plain and boring. Ritterkreuz (179), Seneca Falls, New York, USA Mar 9, 2008 Very smooth with a pretty good mix of malts and hops in both the flavor and aroma, pours a dark brown (no real surprise).

Dark brown, healthy head. Hoppy sharp aroma. A bit fizzy. Full malty slightly burnt taste. Decent brown bitter slightly sticky finish. Furseth (1328), Kungälv, Sweden Mar 8, 2008 Bottle: Deep red/brown clear colour, with a nice head. Aroma was coffee,dark chocolate,caramel, som metalic nose is there to,and a nice citric ending. Flavor is coffee,dark choclate,som alcoholic mouth feeling.Light to medium body, and a medium finish. Nice brown ale! a bit higher alc, and it would get a higher score. Davin (48), Vermont, USA Feb 29, 2008 No head this time. very dark.
aroma is sweet and of roasted malt, nuts, plumb and molasses. A little thin for so much flavor. EHSRanders (1121), Randers C, Denmark Feb 26, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown colour with medium creamy light brown mostly lasting head. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of caramel. Sweet caramellic flavor. jwardell (23), Newton, Massachusetts, USA Feb 24, 2008 On Tap. Dark brown in color, but not the typical brown ale flavor. Instead, an excellent full-palate, smooth drinking beer. Tastes are very well balanced.
