Deep red with a twinge of brown. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel; nice texture! Chocolate malts - I presume - add a nutty quality that was enjoyable. Some coffee/toffee hints here and there too. Sweet malts with a toasted/bitter finish... which lingers nicely. Good beer.

Pour on tap at the brewery, hazy brown pour with thin white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, biscuit, grass and nutty notes, touch of chocolate and cocoa powder. Taste is a mix of caramel, nut and earth notes, touch of cocoa, hints of bread, finishing fairly sweet.

This beer was the best one on the sample tray, i would probably go back to coopersmiths just for this beer

(draft 6/6/10). Dark brown color. Small tan head. Moderate chocolate aroma. Moderate chocolate and malty flavors, with light hops. Avg duration. Smooth finish. Thin/slick texture. Soft to moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

(Draught) Pours a brown body with a small cream head. Aroma of nuts, coffee, caramel, and cocoa. Flavor of caramel malt, chocolate, coffee, and toasted grain.

(Draught at CooperSmith) clear, no head, deep brown color. Nose is nutty, roasty, sweet, caramel and brown sugar. Taste of sweet roastiness, nutty, chocolate malt. Undercarbonated, smooth, roasty/nutty finish.

App: Very dark brown, nearly black with a small, white head. Redness shinse through when held before the light. Ar: Smells of burnt chocolate overwhelmingly with some smokiness, too T: The chocolate is at the forefront. Some roasted coffee and malt in the aftertaste. P: Not overwhelmingly heavy, but definitely a lot of body in this one.Creamy feel on the swallow. Definitely one of the more drinkable brown ales I’ve had, with its good taste and decent body. One of my favorites at Coopersmith’s.

Tap @ Coopersmiths. Red/brown appearance with a light creamy tan head. Brown malty and slightly nutty aroma. Flavor is a mainly brown malty beer with a noted nuttiness. Mouthfeel is creamy and seems to be served at room temperature.

Clear brown, thin medium beige head fades. Aroma of roast malt and nut. Taste is smooth maple sweet and roasty. Rich texture, fine carbonation.

Draft at brewery Aug ’08: Poured a murky dark brown with not much head. The aroma was malty and nutty. The flavor wasn’t all there. Caramel, nuts, dark fruit, and malts were present. Overall, a tad watered down for a brown, but very easy to drink.
