orville (141), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA Jan 21, 2007 There’s no doubt that this is one of the best brown ales being brewed here in America. The flavor is carmel, malts with a nice hop interplay. Smooth enough for session fun and interesting enogh for beer snobs. The taste is very similar to Great Lakes Edmond Fitsgerald porter, and thats a complement.
Nephilium (435), Ohio, USA Oct 12, 2008 Slightly sweet aroma, with hints of cocoa. Pours a clear dark ruby, with a thin tan head. Nice sharp flavor, hints of nut, and a touch of chocolate in the finish. Not bad, but it isn’t the first thing I’ll reach for. mbgrayson (53), Anaconda, Montana, USA Oct 7, 2008 Got a six pack in Dayton Ohio. Smooth and a little sweet finish. Balanced and in general a good brown ale. Thumbs up. marchcow (514), Coralville, Iowa, USA Oct 4, 2008 Slight horseblanket wet dog aroma, sweet sugar and brown malt. Cola brown with a rich foamy tan head. Flavor is bitter brown leather and tobacco. Brown bread, some honey and floral notes. Palate is light with a slight sharp bite. Bitter woody duration. CaryTheDude (283), Ripon, Wisconsin, USA Oct 1, 2008 No complaints. Yet another solid brew from the Goose, my Honkeybra’s favorite brewery. Standard brown ale, but not bad by any means. Lotsa nuts, some tobacco, and a hoppy dry finish. oh6gdx (6343), Vaasa, Finland Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Rubyish colour, small beige head. Aroma is bready malts, sweet fruity hops and some chocolate and nuts. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite pleasant brown ale. Semi-mouthdrying. Adtertaste and finish has some earhy and grassy.
