The head is off-white, creamy, ample and recedes to 1/8 inch and holds. The aroma is medium in strength with coffee, dark fruits, molasses and almonds. The flavor is balanced with roasted malts, dark fruit and coffee. The mouthfeel is just a touch on the thin side, carbonation is adequate. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: This is a very nice brown ale and one of my favorite Full Sail beers to date. Bier brauen (210), Bremerton, Washington, USA May 30, 2008 Bottle. Nice dark color, with aroma of coffee.

Thick malty aroma. Thick flavour. Rich malt with a bit of chocolate and a bit of bitterness. Brewsmith (136), Torrance, California, USA May 22, 2008 From a 22oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is malty and full of dark fruit, plum and raisin. Color is a deep brown with ruby highlights with a small tan head. Flavor has a touch of toast followed by some rich maltiness and then a touch of roasted grain. Medium body and mouthfeel that dries in the finish from the bitterness and roast. Very clean and full rich flavor. Almost like a lighter brown porter.
