Sep 21, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin, light tan head. Nutty aroma with hints of roasted oats. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is quite a suprise. Roasted malt, nuts, chocolate all blend perfectly. Finish is slightly bitter and dry.

Sep 17, 2008 [22oz bottle] I love this beer! Pours dark brown near black with a lovely sand colored head. Nutty vinous aroma with a touch of roast and sweet molasses. Flavor follows... nutty and vinous with some coffee and molasses. Finishes a bit tart. So drinkable and tasty!

Sep 9, 2008 Dark brown with light, foamy cappuccino head / Rich nose of roast coffee, chocolate and nuts / Light to medium body, a touch watery and thin on the finish / Tart, somewhat astringent flavors of bitter coffee, roast barley, and bittersweet chocolate / Has potential, but needs work.

Aug 23, 2008 very strong, toasty aroma with chocolate and some sweetness. first tastes were initially of dry, toasted hazlenuts and chestnuts. got sweeter as it warmed, but never cloying. nice balance of dryness and sweetness.

Jul 26, 2008 wonderful sweetness that is neither cloying nor overly coating on the palate. this is very plesant and truly a sessionable beer. the oats really push this over the top into new territory. just a touch of dryness and even the hops are well played. balance, balance, balance!

Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. pours dark brown with red tints. Nice fluffy tan head. Aroma is wonderful with roasted malts, molasses, and chocolate. Flavor is very porter like with huge molasses and roasted malt flaovrs. Can also taste chocolate and some caramel flavors. By far the best brown ale I have had and this beats the shit out of Rogue’s brown ale. Will make sure I pick this up every time I hit the brew pub.

Jul 14, 2008 On tap at the Station on 7/10/08. Pours a dark brown black with a beige head. Abundant aroma that is so roasty with chocolate and fresh malt. Really roasty and nutty flavors with burnt malts. Finishes dry. This is a surprisingly delicious beer. The panama and this prove that I need to pay more attention to the regular line-up, b/c these are solid beers.
