2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAR 24, 2010 Pours a clear reddish brown with a medium off-white head and some moderate lacing. Aroma is malt and brown sugar. Taste is mild but pleasant growing as it goes with breadyness and some vegtable flavor. Finishes strong but bitter. Overall not a bad beer for the price.

Tap at Pony Bar. Light brown pour with a thin white head. The nose has a lot of toasted character. Light brown malt, herbal cocoa and a bit of rye bread like spiciness. Fairly herbal tasting with a nice clean nuttiness. The hops show a kiss of earthy woodiness as well. It’s a fairly simple brown ale, but it’s decent enough. A bit of spice as it warms.

Dark red-orange, not very brown. Tight off white creamy foam. Thin malty aroma, some caramel. Taste is caramel, a bit of cocoa, overall thin, metallic.

Brown, as might be expected from a brown ale, with a thin tan head. Aroma is a bit more challenging than I expected - toasty and nutty, but also some pine and black pepper. Flavor is pretty typical brown ale - toasty, malty, some hints of chocolate, with a decent bitterness in the finish. Benefits greatly from lowered expectations...

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper with reasonably tall beige head. The aroma is nuts and chocolate, kind of like a candy bar, with a sort of corn husk thing over top of it. The flavor is mild caramel, a little bit of earthy hops. It’s very, very bland overall, but doesn’t really have any flaws that I can detect. It is extremely thin, though, probably too much so for what it is. This would be a good cooking beer.

Looks like iced tea, but with a small head. Aroma is nutty with some caramel malts. Good mix of flavors include caramel, brown sugar, roasted malts as well as some slight hops. Biscuity, nutty, soft and easy to drink.
