Nov 3, 2009 Tap- rated from memory: (Thanks to Mike/Eyedrinkale who supplied a jockey box at my 2009 Halloween party... A very generous man!) Pours a deep brown with a ruby hue and a dense tan head of film. Has a richly malty aroma with toffeeish soft sweetness and apparent nutty crystal malt character. Rounded body/mouthfeel. Has a rich dark caramel sweetness accompanied by a very light earthy roast. As it warms and the carbonation settles down there’s a subtle fruity Northwest U.S. hop character that goes well with the malty body. Not a bad brown ale.

Oct 30, 2009 Deep chestnut pour with a white head. Aroma is nutty but i also detect some peat. Reminds me of a scotch ale. Peat carries into the flavor along with some light roasted nuts and hops.

Sep 27, 2009 Deep brown with thin white head. No real aroma to speak of. Flavor has some roastiness but lightly astringent as well. Very ho hum.

Sep 9, 2009 Dark brown black pour with tan head slight roasted and citrus hop aroma. Taste of roasted malts caramel and a nice hoppy citrus finish well balanced not a bad average brew

Sep 8, 2009 12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of malts, hops, slight roasting, and a hint of nuts. Poured dark brown in color with a medium-sized, dense, rocky, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Lightly sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Good lacing. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of malts, slight roasting, slight hops, and a hint of caramel. Medium body. Creamy, slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Slightly sweet, cocoa, malt, and nut finish. Very little flavor to this beer.

Jul 4, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Pours medium brown with light red highlights. Huge tan head, minimal lacing. Caramel and toffee in the nose with a slight roastiness. Flavor is mostly malt, both caramel and toffee with a bit of an offputting earthy hop note. Okay, but not all that great.

Jun 26, 2009 Draft at Stellar Pizza. Pours a nice clear brown, little head. Mild vanilla aroma. Relatively bland flavor with nice sweetness and hint of bitter. Too lively for me, though.

Jun 16, 2009 In my opinion a very poor imitation of Arrogant Bastard. Hop flavor predominates an otherwise good base beer, but it is not in my opinion a good hop flavor.
