Jun 24, 2009 Overall Impression:
I haven’t had this beer in a while, but I remember thinking it was pretty good. Sometimes your just in the mood for a nice, simple Brown Ale, and this one hits that demo.

Jun 20, 2009 Brown pour with small white head that quickly dissipated. Caramel in aroma with hint of malt but flavor was really watery and metallic. Underwhelming.

Jun 17, 2009 Caramel, toast, rich nuttiness. Apparently well made, but too bland for my tastes.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle - Pours a dark/opaque brown in color with a medium off-white head that stuck around. Aroma is fairly strong of caramel and biscuit malts... slightly sweet. Flavor is a nice mix of tasted malts, caramel and brown sugar. Not much for hops. Lingering sweetness. A bit of a metallic aftertaste unfortunately. An OK brown, but nothing that distinctive....

Jun 11, 2009 On tap, fall 2008: Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a small, off-white head. Mild aroma of toasty caramel malt and nutty character without much hop presence. Body is about average with some semi-sweet maltiness and nutty flavor before a thin, but smooth finish. Pretty drinkable, but could use more assertive character.

May 31, 2009 Draft at Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival in Richmond VA on 5-30-09. Dark brown pour. Nose is nutty with toasted malt, caramel, and earthy hops. Taste is sweet malts, spicy and earthy hops flavors, nuts and caramel. Body si medium overall with soft carbonation. Ends nutty and sweet with more earthy hops and caramel.

May 28, 2009 Cask at Brazen Head. Deep brown beer. Aroma is lightly toasty with a bit of brown malt sweetness. Very light caramel and toasted malt. A light lingering cocoa sweetness. Pretty nice really.

May 12, 2009 Via Bill, THANKS! Pours a ruddy clear brown with a loose bubbled smallish tan head. The nose is low profile, subdued subtle chocolate, roast and a little toffee. A little nutty to toasty. Light palate, with carbonation derived creaminess. Malt driven beer, with that toasty nuttiness most obvious. A bit of something coppery (hmmm, penny in every pint, eh?). Perceivable floral hops, but subtle. Toffee finish, creamy chocolate after taste. A very refreshing brown, but that metal flavor bugs me!
