COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The is a pretty beer almost an amber/brown color. A well balanced beer that is great for the summer months. Unlike the porter, this is the beer that put them on the map.

Very good brown ale, good caramel after taste. Very easy drinking, not to filling.

A nice light brown color. The beers smell is very standard. It is a good tasting beer that is well brewed.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - JUL 31, 2004
A little lighter than normal, more of a deep auburn. Nose quite peaty, lots of malts to it, some caramel. Very nice flavor, loads of malts, lots of caramel and toffee, big peat character to it, mildly smoky as well. Quite nutty. Finish is long, with just a hint of sweetness hanging around the mouth. Quite enjoy the palate on it, good creaminess as well. One of the better browns I’ve had.

Draft. Pours copper, with aroma of malt, toffee, brown sugar, hops, and cabernet. Tastes malty, rich, with some hops, brown sugar, and red wine at the finish. Nice balance and a great finish. I put this one up there with DFH Indian Brown Ale as great examples of the style.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2009 22 oz bottle. The beer pours a Red-Brown color, light tan head. Roasted, nutty, and sweet aroma. Slightly caramel and brown malty flavor. Hyped up, but quite enjoyable.

RazingDreamz (123) - North Carolina, USA - DEC 28, 2005
Deep reddish-brown color, generous tan head. Aroma is strong, exclusively caramel. Taste is sweet, balanced malts and hops, caramel, hint of honey and something else I can’t figure out. Good mouthfeel, medium-bodied, slick, frothy. I really like this beer.

A wonderful brown ale. Nicely carbonated, sweet malts and maybe some caramel in the flavor. The finish was very clean, very enjoyable.

Bottle. Sample from a friend at a brewclub meeting. Deep amber brown in color with a nice head. Malty and roasty aroma. Slight hop character. Caramel notes. Well balanced beer. Clean mouthfeel. Interesting. Nice beer.
