Grand Lake, Co. - on tap - Sagebrush BBQ. Pours a deep dark brown, medium thick khaki colored head. Sweet aroma, some chocolate and nuttiness. Flavor is sweet as well, dominated by nutty flavor, some brown sugar and a hint of toffee. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Good companion to the venison, elk and wild boar sausage I had for dinner.

Growler, thanks bro, pour is pretty dark, aroma is of coffee and chocolate. Pretty nutty flavour, lots of chocolate flavours. overall tasty stuff

Pours a small 1/4 inch creme colored head. Body is a dark brown with auburn red highlights. Head retention was average and so was lacing. First smell is sweet, almost like coca cola mixed in with caramel malts. Next is some rye bready malt and some figs/raisins. Hops and alcohol aren’t detected. Taste is of chalky roasted malt and some semi tart prunes/raisins. Hops are very faint and alcohol is not present. Beer has a slight aftertaste of oxidation/soy sauce. Mouthfeel is well carbonated and light bodied but not watery. Head dissipated rather quickly and failed to contribute any substance to the beer. Overall this beer was average, typical for the style, somewhat bland. Could drink acouple of these but after half a glass I became bored and was ready to move on to something else.

Carmel malty flavor. Dark in color but medium in depth of flavor. Very drinkable.

Poured dark reddish brown with thin off white head from bottle, aroma had notes of sweet toffee, molasses, some roasted grain notes, slightly acidic, but even more caramel in there. Taste is a bit bitter, but still very sweet and one dimensional, with some caramel and toffee, some slight bread, maybe a touch of roast, with a slightly dry, sweet finish.

Dark brown pour. Sweet toffee,raisin bread, light cocoa. Flavor is sweet malts, not much hops to speak of. On tap at Sagebrush in Grand Lake.

Poured out a weird cola brown with very very little head, didn’t last long either. Aroma was pretty swell, with notes of caramel, brownish chocolate malt, and some slight nuttiness. Too bad the taste was kinda flat. Unexciting tones of stale caramel, brown malt, and some walnut. Odd bitterness at end, and off-sweet. Light bodied. Just an average, or mediocre Brown Ale.

12oz bottle pours a cola brown with amber highlights and a small almost gray head. Aroma of molasses, chocolate, raisin, and nuts. Taste has a sour to sweetness all the way through ending in a nutty bitterness, hints of caramel and toffee throughout.

Tasted from a 12 oz bottle purchased in Fort Collins, Colorado. Dark reddish brown appearance with a white/brown head. Brown, slightly skunky, and slightly nutty aroma with a little caramel. Kind of a weird nutty flavor in the brown malty body. Overall just kind of a weird unknown flavor.

bottle. Pours dark red instead of brown with no head. Sweet aroma, bubblegum, along with toffee. Flavor almost has a sort of cherry cola flavor to it, hardly tastes like beer. Is this a bad bottle or something? I don’t think so... I didn’t have high expectations for this one but damn, it’s pretty bad. This will be the first beer I drainpour.
