Pours almost black with a medium tan head. Weak aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste is smooth, with malt, chocolate and coffee. Overall, a nice smooth brown ale; quite drinkable. Thumbs up.

dark brown color. Coffee and a touch of citrus. Again nothing too exciting for me.

Dark brown pour with medium sized tan head. Aroma of malts and chocolate. Taste of malt, chocolate, toast, slightly nutty, and a slight dry bitter finish. Perfect carbonation and mouthfeel.

Sample tray. Now listed as Bufflehead Brown. Dark body. Roasts flavour. Very good. Reminds me of my first tastes of Wild Rose Brown. Some chocolate notes as well.

650ml bomber pours a dark brown color with a finger and a half of off-white head which settles to some nice thin lacing. Aroma is mild roasted malts. Taste is light roasted malty sweetness with a mild earthy hop bitter finish. A very interesting brown ale with some flavours that I cannot get a handle on, but this is a good brown ale nonetheless.

22. Pours an opaque ebony, nearly black. Loose tan head that takes a real shake-up during the pour to stir up. Tiny drips of lace. Mild caramel and black bread on the nose. Creamy medium body, a little on the flat side. Walnut shells, black bread, and darkened toast on the mid palate. Slightly ashy finish. Not sure if this is quite how they meant this to turn out if they’re putting "brown" on the label, but it’s pretty engaging in the neighborhood of a slightly flat foreign stout, session style, so I’ll round up a bit.

On tap at the brewpub in Missoula. Pours dark brown with a modest beige head and a toasty aroma. There is a mild roasted malt flavor with a dry bitter finish.

Sample at brewery. Dark brown, thick foamy tan head. Aroma of toasted malts and caramel. taste is smooth sweet toasted malts with some chocolate. Smooth texture, soft carbonation.

Pours a nice dark brown color. Aromas of nuts/chocolate/caramel. Flavor is nutty with a nice sweet honey chocolate taste and a little coffee bitterness. This is a great beer.

Draft. This is an excellent beer. Pours deep brown with minimal head. Aroma and body are fairly good. Taste is outstanding. A toasted nut flavor with hints of sweet molasses are found in this marvelous brew. Hops are balanced very nicely and do not overwhelm. I wish I could get this at home.
