Sep 30, 2004 Well made brown ale. Brown colored, slightly opaque, moderate tan head. Aroma is nutty, sweet, with a bit of carmel. Flavor is sweet and nutty, with a little hops bitterness. Sweet up front on the finish with the hops out lasting the malt on the tail end. Good Beer

Feb 15, 2003 A baby Westmalle dubbel? More Belgian sour than British malty. Dark reddish brown with small head rapidly fading to lace. Nose of chocolate, floral hops. Taste of chocolate and espresso, only lightly malty, with a strong bitter / sour finish. Mouth a little thin, and nicely spritzy. Low enough alcohol to drink as a session beer.

May 3, 2008 Draft at Raleigh WBF. Malty hops on the nose, sweet aroma. Same on palate. Thin, though, and too much sweetness. Quite average, but I would happily get one on tap every once in awhile.

Jul 19, 2004 Chestnut color with a medium tan head.
Aroma of molasses, malt and nuts?
Nice malty flavor with just enough hops to balance it out. Perfect with a summertime barbecue.

May 18, 2008 I would have overlooked this beer if it was not the only one (besides the lager) that the booth had left at GOBF. It was a VERY good brown ale! It has a sweet nuttiness to it for a start and a clean, smooth sweet finish. In between I got notes of sweet wood, tobacco, some hops, and something vanilla-y. I did a double-take. Good stuff.

Jan 5, 2010 12oz bottle courtesy of thecarster1.
Pours a deep clear copper with a huge creamy off-white head that shows excellent retention as a cap for ages.
The aroma is pretty bland for a brown with a ton of sweet chocolate malts and some nuts. Maybe some sweet fruits as well.
The taste is more of the same with some faint chocolate malts forming a backbone underneath some lightly toasted nuts. The finish is where it gets a little dodgy as there is a metallic bitterness that limits the drinkability a bit.
The mouthfeel is a little light for me, almost watery, with too much carbonation for my liking.
This is another decent but not overly impressive member of Brooklyn year-round lineup.
