12oz bottle pours amber/brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, cocoa, nuts, and dark fruits. Taste is bitter chocolate, into mild caramel and toffee, ending on bitter nuts. Not bad, not amazing.

A clear brown color with an off white head that quickly faded away, a slightly over carbonated appearance. Aroma had a nice caramel malt profile and some mild toffee/nut aromas. Flavor was similar. A little too gassy. Beer wasn’t bad or offensive in any way it just wasn’t great.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head quickly recedes to mottle surface. Sour butterscotch aromas. Astringent with upfront sour caramel and a lasting rancid butterscotch finish.

standard for a brown ale. some caramel malts, lack of hops yet no no real toffish flavor that is found in great brown. still it quite drinkable for a few.

The aroma is not too far off from the standard of the style but it’s a bit weak. It’s malty, a bit chocolaty, with nuts, and cardboard. The appearance is brown with a small head. The taste is like the aroma with a bit of burnt toast astringency. The palate is average for the style. Overall this is a decent beer but I am not impressed.

Bottled. A red-brown beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to a dry, bitter, and nutty finish.

Good looking beer - brown with red highlights, head does not last. Aroma of cardboard, soap, and caramel. Taste is the same. Strange sour finish. Mouth feel is a bit thin, but not terrible. At least it’s not obscenely over-carbonated. Drinkable, but boring.

Kind of a soapy malty aroma. Looks great. This is pretty nice. Nutty and malty, a little thin in the finish. Good not great.

Brown pour with small white head. all the casco bay brewing beers i have tasted have the same bitter taste not a fan.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown with almost no head. Roasted and mild yeasty fruity and overripe notes. Roasted caramelish with a distinct breadish note. Light bitter and slight fruity with a yeasty touch. Slight acidic touch into the finish.
