22 oz bottle @ redlight redlight. Smokey, roasted malts, very nutty aromas. Pours a rich brown with a solid white head. Super nutty, hazelnuts, almonds, caramel, very smooth and nutty, very drinkable. Great brown ale!!

Sampled on 11/27/2009. This brown ale pours a medium to dark brown color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is brown sugar, malt, spices, oak and nutty. A medium bodied brown ale. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet, brown sugar. The hops are herbal and floral. Nice balance of oak, malt and spices. A very pleasurable mixture, nothing grabs control, they all work nicely together. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Very good Belgium brown ale. A pleasant Surprise. Big thick and malty. Very drinkable.

22oz bottle pours a translucent brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma of a standard brown ale, sweet, malty, caramel, brown sugar, toasted grains. The flavor is exceptional, sweet malts, caramel, biscuits, crackers, there’s a wonderful hazelnut flavor that may have come from the barrel aging. Flavor also has some light spice, light vanilla and brown sugar. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Flavor is wonderful and fresh and drinkable.

Roasted malts in the aroma while the appearance is a brown-amber in color. The flavor is of fruit and the aforementioned malts. Rather unique for a brown ale, this is heavy on the fruit but still balanced in the malts.

Bottle from BevMo. Pours ruby copper with a decent beige head. Aromas of spice and chocolate. Almost medium body with average carbonation. Flavor is a bit woody, followed by something like alcohol (without heat), hate to say solvent, cause it’s not bad. Followed by mild chocolate, something suggesting root beer, something like ginger, definitely roast malt. Then something like evergreen. Flavor keeps moving around. Mysterious and entertaining. For a brown ale it’s very good. Ends up just a little astringent. I think the oak comes forth more with time. On the light side of the Xmas brews.

bottle thanks to bman1113vr. deep amber with a cream head. wood, chocolate, roasted malts and light vanilla on the nose. very nice on the palate with a great roasted malt flavor along with chocolate and vanilla.

Bottle. Pours brown with an off white head. The aroma has spicy noble hops, light woody notes, and sweet malts. The flavor is a tad muddled. Belgian yeast, spicy hops, an oaky hint, and a light sweetness. Still pretty good, and part of the proceeds are donated to veterans so it gets a +1 in my book for that.

Poured hazy amber brown, spices, malty, caramel, little dark fruit, light bitter finish.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House pouring up murky orange – copper with off white head. The aroma is full of fairly smooth notes of raisins, honey, prunes, spices and molasses. The taste begins with raisins and prunes and then quickly picking up some spiciness and the carbonation surges forward. Beyond midway and into the finish it gets a bit peppery as well as smooth and sweet with malt underneath. Nice brew.
