Feb 8, 2010 Bottle at Wilde. Pours a dark thick brown with a thick head of slightly loose bubbles that dampens the scent of burnt coffee, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Well hopped with a nice ringing bitterness. I also detected hints of oak and snoke that rounded out the taste very nicely.

Feb 6, 2010 12 oz. bottle- Pours brownish black with a pour I had to rigorously pour just to get a quarter inch head, aroma is of light caramel malt and coffee. The flavor is weird, a hoppy-malty brown ale. Experimental as usual from this brewery, the question is did it work. I think it did because it tastes good, and that is the most important part of the structure of a beer. You can be experimental as hell but if it tastes like shit, you have a shitty beer. They blended hops and malt perfectly to make a well balanced hoppy brown ale.

Feb 5, 2010 Looks very nice in a glass... poured a dark brown with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma isn’t overly appealing to me, lightly sweet and coffeeish. Flavor is coffee, raisins, figs, chocolate, finishes a touch bitter. There’s a flavor to it that throws it off for me, something reminiscent of iron on the midpallete. Reminds me of having blood in my mouth. Tasted awesome on the first sip and retains some good notes, but overall not great.

Feb 5, 2010 Has to be one of my favorite brown ales. The aroma is sweet and pleasant. It has hints of barley,chocolate,coffee and dried fruit. The taste lingers on the tongue and leaves a sweet bitter after taste.
