Jul 31, 2009 This is one of the better brown ales I’ve had. I think this is just as good as the Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. My big complaint about brown ales is that they tend to be sweetish, with little to no hops. I realize this is the style, but I have no use for them. This one is a bit more hoppy, but still has a nice, roasty finish. Almost like a mild porter. Very nice.

Jul 30, 2009 A dark brown beer with a small fast disappearing head. Aroma was malty & fresh. Taste was malt & caramel. Very mild taste-one of my least favorite browns.

Jul 26, 2009 Really nice aroma of roasted malt and syrup. Dry malty flavor with hints of coffee beans and dark chocolate. Light bitterness and short aftertaste.

Jul 23, 2009 Rich aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Deep, dark brown color with a slightly beige head. Taste was sweet, with strong caramel notes and echoes of the aforementioned malts and chocolate. Quite delicious.

Jul 23, 2009 Nice version on tap at Magoos. Some malt odor and dark Amber in color, with no head but a little lacing. Sweet but not excessive, fruits and lots of nuts and malt. A little oily. Finishes slightly sweet.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle: Cocoa, toffee, malt, nuts, caramel and hops which dominate the flavor a bit too much, very nice beer.

Jul 20, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. On the label there is a best before date.
Appearance: The body has a dark mahogany color with a light tan head on top. The head quickly fades down to just a ring on bubbles around the edge of the glass. The lacing is mostly slick and slides down the glass with just a little bit sticking to the glass.
Smell: The aroma sweet with hints of roasted and toasted malt.
Taste/Mouth Feel: Up front the flavor has a nice sweet bready malt with hints of roasted barley, caramel and toffee. The hop flavor is mellow but adds very good balance to the finish. It has a big round and smooth texture with soft carbonation and a solid medium to full body.
Notes: Over all this is one very tasty brown Ale.
