Thans to Sledge Jr for this one! Clear, brown pour with plenty of reddish highlights and an off- white head that falls quickly. Sweet sugary aroma. Sweet flavor of malt with some cocoa that goes quickly into a dry finish. Thin and spritzy on the palate.

From a bottle I purchased in KC. A medium khaki colored head topped the dark brown and ruby colored body. The aroma was sweet apple with some ginger and caramel. The taste had apple core and nutmeg. There was also some tobacco. Not very good.

(Bottle, courtesy of Sledge Jr) Pours a deep amber body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of malt and cocoa. Flvaor of malt, chocolate, and dustiness.

UPDATED: MAY 18, 2006 In the bottle. I’m not sure this is still being made anymore. The Owner of O’Fallon told me that they are not making it for Lemp any longer and the box I purchased ($9.99 a sixer) was the last one (and coated in dust) at the store. The packaging is truly the best part about this beer. Pours a very dark brown to black in color with a delightfully thick dark brown/tan head. If mixed up enough, the dark sediment from the bottom will pepper the foamy head in contrasting colors. Malty chocolate aroma which over-suggests a flavor that does not match. Slightly lighter in body and flavor than I had expected. Ends up sneaking off into oblivion like its namesake reptile on the box. UPDATE 5/18/6: Someone is making this again for Lemp because I saw plenty of it at the Gomers in KC recently. Tony at O’Fallon says he’s not the one making this new incarnation.

(bottle) Deep brown with hints of red. Rapidly fading off-white head. Malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt up front with a nutty-spice finish.

a great new brew. very very smooth for this style, goes down easy, very rich flavor profile. Interesting packaging, lots of fun to read.

12oz bottle. Served at 50.6° in my NB worthy glass. Part of a mix-a-six. Looks like Lemp contracts out to two different brewers, this one is at least local. Reddish brown color with a light khaki head. There is sediment at the botom of the bottle and it looks like some at the bottom of my glass. The aroma is lighty roasted malt and spicy hops. Smells good. The taste is malty with coffee notes and a fair dose of spicy, citrusy? hops. The finish is chocolate quickly fading to a cleansing, mildly bitter, citrusesque flavor and a tingling mouthfeel. A nice beer. I like the additional hop flavor not found in the majority of brown ales.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2008 Pour is a clear brown with a nice sized white head. Aroma is not as strong as i would have liked but you get some malty notes there. Flavor is a nice sweet roasted malt flavor. Expensive at $8 a six but it is one of the tastier brown ales have ever had.

Brewed by O’Fallon for Lemp. MoBev Distributing. It has a chocolate malt nose, with a note of hop. Deep brown color with tan head, quickly dissipating. Great roasted malt flavor. Finishes with nice hop note. Good and malty.

Pours a cloudy cola color. Aroma is sweet and malty, bits of honey and hops. Flavor is great and malty. It’s like drinking rye toast. I’m betting this is the base for cherry-chocolate and Holidaze by the same brewer. Really nice malt flavor.
