Headbanger (948), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jan 27, 2008 12oz bottle-A dark brown body with a huge off white head and an aroma of nuts and malt. Taste of the same along with a little caramel and chocolate. Nota bad brew but just a little bit over carbonated. RSRIZZO (979), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 23, 2007 Had this beer on 6/2/2006. Aroma is a light metallic malt scent. Color is a deep almost black brown with good carbonation and a thick tight head. Taste is thin and bitter. Starting with a light body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes in with a crisp bitterness and mild malt flavor that has only a faint roasted taste to it. Overall its not bad to drink but, not all that well balanced. TURDFERGUSON (1099), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Sep 4, 2007 Bottle from Glenn. About a year old. Poured with a huge white head. Pretty much a gusher. Nose was nutty, and slightly hoppy. Flavor had more nuts, a dust of cocoa, and a dry bitter and mild hop finish. Nothing special, but drinkable. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/12/2006

beerguy101 (3433), Newark, California, USA Jun 17, 2006 This brown ale pours a deep brown color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is nutty and sweet, with a touch of chocolate. A light to medium bodied brown ale. Malts are nutty, caramel and sweet. Hops are slightly bitter and earthy. Nutty and slightly sweet brown ale. Good balance. Nice carbonation. Touch of cardboard at the finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
