Tap @ Blind Tiger. Cloudy brown color with small head. Arma of malt, chocolate and light hops. Taste was really nutty. I don’t know what kind, maybe pecans? Really tasty.

Drinkable, but not as good as the other Geary’s brews that I’ve had. Decent color, so-so flavor...

Practical hazelnut sweetness overseeing a distant mud bank of toffee and orange rinds...Short, grassy hops and pomegranate seeds appear in an otherwise very placid end...An easy-to-drink offering for those who venture out of the swill path but are still not ready to stray very far...

Poured a reddish color with thin tan head. Sweet caramel nutty flavor with a hint of chocolate and also a little bit of hops thrown in.

I tasted this back at the brewery over the summer before it was even released to the public, so it was very young. This beer was very good- nice color, great aroma and flavor. Lots of nutty and toasted flavors, with some darker malts lingering in the background. Also- there is a complex subtle sweetness from some crystal malts. Possibly hopped with some english hops to give it that slight floral/ woodsy aroma.

This is an ale for the Maine season after fall and before winter officaly gets here. It keeps you warm and has great flavor for the short cold days.

On cask at the Great Lost Bear
Brownish-amber colour. Slightly spicy (nutmeg) aroma with hints of sour milk and nuts. Toasty, milky (I think this is a by-product of their mutated Ringwood yeast because it appeared in other Geary's I sampled later), with some earthy hops. Finishes earthy.

Maltier than I was expecting and very much a nutty brown ale. You'll notice lingering hop presence but not much aroma here. Geary's ales tend to run bitter and this is no exception.

Bottled. Poured a dark ruby-brown color with a medium tan head. The head quickly dissipated and left minimal lacing. The aroma was a mild toasted, roasted, nutty smell. More nutty tasting malts followed up in the taste, with a few hops thrown in for good measure. Sweet, malty and delicious. A very good session beer!

Ruby/orange color, sweet malts in the nose. Medium bodied, sweet ending. Lingering aftertaste.
