Apr 15, 2008 From 22oz bottle. Pours darker brown. Soft toasted malt flavor, honey and caramel with a soft chocolate flavor towards the finish. Hops were balanced but soft, well built to make the malts stand out. Solid brown ale, which is saying a lot since I don’t really like many of them.

Apr 12, 2008 Bomber. Dark chocolate aroma. Dark brown color with a three finger beige head. Medium body with fine carbonation; almost chewy. Flavor is lots of chocolate, dark roasted malt, and bitter (probably burnt malt and hop). Finish is dry, and the bitter is persisting. Seems to be really good for a brown ale. Damn near crisp.

Apr 10, 2008 Pours dark with a full head with good retention and fluffy lacing. Aromas of nut shells. Full nectar with good carbonation. The texture is soft. Malty and dry roasted with flavors of nut shells, herbs, bubble gum dust, bakers cocoa. Theres a mild hop component that delivers a citrusy bitterness. The finish is bittered well and lasting, dry and snappy. Nice complexities.

Dark brown almost mahogany in coour, nice thick light tan head.
Aroma toffeeish maltiness and slightly toasted .
Toasty, milk chocolaty taste, hints of coffee in the end, bitterness tinges the after taste.
Nice palate for a brown, quite nicely carbonanted.
Overall a good brown and drinakble.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle: Mahogany, ruby color, light sticky head. Nose of yeast slurry, light vacuum cleaner hose, subtle almond and bitter bland hops. The flavor is acidic, plenty of bitter earthy hops. Light and vague, salty? Not good.

Apr 7, 2008 Dark brown with a small tan head. Mild roasted nut aroma. Medium bodied with a gentle carbonation. Nutty, roasted flavors are balanced by sweet malt, and dark chocolate. Not bad but kind of boring overall.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a nice sized beige head. Aroma is malty and roasty. Flavor is roasty, toffee, and nutty. Feels like a traditional PNW brown ale... easy drinker.
