Opaque brown color, viturally no head at all, what was there fizzled out very quickly, it sounded like pouring a soda out of a can & into a glass, the beer just kind of sat there and fizzled like a soda too, aroma was sweet with notes of caramel, chocolate & sugar, very light body, flavors were horrible, very sweet and overloaded with chocolate, brown sugar & rye, the beer had a rather sour finish & aftertaste as well, I couldn’t finish the entire bottle it was that bad

Aug 19, 2008 Draft at brewery. Poured a deep brown in color with a light tan head. Aroma was slightly roasty with nuts, coffee and toffee. Tastes of roasted coffee and a little nutty. Finish was dry and it had a decent mouth feel.

Jul 16, 2008 Draft: Poured a d dark brown color with not a lot of head. The aroma was of coffee and chocolate with malt and hints of hops present. The flavor was like a chocolate coverd hazelnut. Overall, this was a good beer.

Jul 7, 2008 Fresh, yeasty aroma. Fairly hoppy and fizzy for a nut brown, with a taste of coffee and cereal. Malty sweetness and other flavors are more noticable at room temperature than refrigerated. Well-balanced and flavorful. Ithaca makes consistently good brews.
