Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Good lacing. Aroma is a malty, sweet wood with a hint of fruit (raisins?). Very nice malt flavor with hints of wood and chocolate. Full bodied. A fantastic beer!

750 bottle shared by Shyam. My thanks for contributing to a great Brown Ale month for me. Nose is chocolate soil, roasty hazelnuts and amaretto, dark coffee. Color is a full brownish black with good brown head. Flavor much the same and comes together very nicely. Like a nuttier version of Pullman that turns out to be sweeter.

750 from Capone’s. Pours deep brownish chestnutty color with off-khaki head. Nose is malty, nutty, earthy, with cacao and brown sugar. Tastes rich, very complex, dense, with a lot of intermingled malt, nut, cacao, backup hops, and toffee. This one was elite, and one of the best nut brown ales I have ever experienced.

An incredibly tasty brown ale. Pint at the launch party at OTH. Slightly sweet and dark brown. Nice blend of malts to bring out a milk chocolate and toffee, even perhaps hazelnut flavor. Excellent brew!

1 massive, Super Obama size, way above the Mt. Everest and below the Mariana Trench- the last bottle from Daknole- thank you sir. I don’t say this alot, but, sincerely, thank you. Served in a trappist glass- poured a nearly black with ruby tints. Heavy aroma of alcohol, toffee, plums, malt, caramel, and pure evil- straight from hell. Hits the mouth with a hard wide heavy body, (this beer is not for the faint of heart, let alone beergayners), the first sip smacks you upon the face for not paying attention to a lightly seasoned malt- some roast to it is apparent in the malt, a 2nd smack upon your face lets you know that it continues well into the middle- a grainy, and very welcome, malt makes itself know, along with nuts (pecan with notes of pistachio, hazelnut, and maple- F$@K. ME. RUNNING.), finish that is full, damn near everlasting, and points a loaded .44. Right between your eyes. Exactly 2cm in between, above, and between your eyes. Don’t fail the beerGAYners on this one- I saved this beer for my BIRTHDAY. The stlye (HUH?!?) at the tyme said- it’s ok, That day came and went. But I said, come some sample some... what they had made them full, full enough after a BAD NIGHT with my Old Lady. That night came came and went. But I still craved more BAD... The beergayners may score it here low, but I score it high. Why? I was nice enough to someone, and HE repayed a favor. Thank you Dakine, thank you. See me in El Paso, biotch (evil mechanical laughter from me to you, a friendly joust between friends). Thank you. By the way- I call this beer a brown ale, but I also call it DAMN GOOD. (From Dakine’s back)- BITCH. You said what, you don;t have need to fight, you also have him. nipple twisting beergayner. I got a story to tell you. But you have me to deal with. 1st. And I’m not such a soft touch.....Dakine- let’s ride man... and it’s on me man.

On tap at BT. Pours a dark hazy brown. Sweet, toasted aroma. Flavor is very malty, sweet toasted malts. Lots of bitter chocolate. The mouthfeel is perfect much like everything else they brew. The best brown I’ve ever had.

Big thanks to Smith4498 for the trade that brought me what is in my top 5 beer list. pour is the darkest of dark brown with big dirty tan head with long lacing. 5 on palate; thickest, creamy going down. Taste of slight chocolate, perfect malt sweet and slight roasted flavor; something else is there - others say nuts; that could be - this goes down really smooth; to nitpick - there is a subdued alcohol burn - but damn this is good; NEED ANOTHER!!!
