scrizzz (1252), kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 26, 2009 Second Dick’s beer of the night. RIP. Clean dark amber body, small white head. Lavender caramel aroma, sweet and bright. Medium roast, full bodied, ample leafy hops. Great for my tastes. Bier brauen (210), Bremerton, Washington, USA Oct 8, 2009 Ontap at Dick’s. Two things keeps this from being outstanding brown. A little more body, just a little. And less hops. Too hoppy for a brown. mbgrayson (141), Anaconda, Montana, USA Aug 31, 2009 12 oz bottle from Huckleberries in Spokane. Not all that good of a brown. Not smooth enough, and overall, I have to give this one a thumbs down. Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jul 24, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Pours a clear, light brown with a big fluffy tan head. Aroma is earthy, cocoa, caramel. Flavor is caramel, biscuit, very small cocoa and a bit of strange fruitiness. Palate a little thinner than I’d prefer. marctacoma (34), Fircrest, Washington, USA May 23, 2009 I love brown ales, and I’m a fan of Dick’s, but something here isn’t right. Light, not all that complex. Malt taste fades to a syrupy-alcohol finish.
Maybe it was just the bottle I had; I’d like to try this on tap, but the first impression wasn’t all that impressive. ratman197 (3141), Arvada, Colorado, USA Apr 20, 2009 Bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of carmel, cocoa, nuttiness and a hint of earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, carmel, light nuttiness and a hint of earthiness with a smooth malty finish. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Mar 19, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber with a thick yellow head consisting of very big bubbles. The flavor has some toffee to it. The palate is thin and boring. Perhaps a mild roasted finish.
