gws57 (951), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Aug 27, 2007 Had this one on draught as part of the sampler at the brewpub in Ludington, Michigan. Clear, dark red pour with a beautiful foamy tan head, lots of chocolate and coffee, mild and clean finish. Very sessionable. Tmoney99 (3429), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 13, 2005 Draft at brew pub. Medium brown color with small tan head that appeared to match style. Aroma was a medium malt with no indication of hops. Flavor was medium malt with a brew pub style sweet finish. Well balanced brew. BBB63 (3681), La Porte, Indiana, USA Oct 5, 2003 Light brown hue with a golden bottom which has a small off-white head and some lace. The aroma is toasted malt, aromatic hops, apple, apricot, mild spice, and nutty. The taste was very balanced and smooth with a nice hazelnut, ripe fruit and spice undertone. Thin to medium-bodied and a soft mouthfeel. Enjoyable and a brew you can easily drink 3 or 4 in a sitting. Not many mild ales are interesting, this one is. brownalegirl (199), Fountain, Michigan, USA Oct 6, 2002 This is my favorite Jamesport brew - a very pleasant brown ale with just enough spice to its sweet and nutty character to keep me interested. hennes (932), Fountain, Michigan, USA Jan 11, 2002 Perhaps the most complex of the Jamesport portfolio. Roasted notes in front, cider at close, interesting alternations of fruit and nut in between. It’s interesting but perhaps too busy and suffers from the lack of body that hallmarks the brewpub.
