UPDATED: JUL 24, 2012
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 7/6/12
Aroma: The nose is roasted malts mostly, with light nutty notes, and a little earth
Appearance: It pours a clear reddish-brown with some light lace from the small beige head
Flavor: The flavor is malty and roasty, thought it is not super sweet or bitter
Palate: The feel is sticky and somewhat smooth, to along with the medium body
Overall Impression:
I thought it was a solid brown for sure. It hits all the marks for the style without being anything crazy or anything special. This is just a solid brew.

On tap at Maui brewing; poured a nice medium brown. Somewhat hoppy of an aroma. Overall it was OK, some body but the hops seemed unbalanced. Compared to a few of the others I tried in the sampler, it was decent ..
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark brown pour, light tan head. Roasted nuts, spicy hops, toffee on the nose. Good citrus hops in the flavor with a big dose of roasted nuts, cocoa and even a hint of coffee.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown color... Very malty, not very balanced with hops, but definitely an enjoyable brown ale... Very well done...
