Jun 7, 2009 A simple brown ale. Pours a clear redish brown with a very, very thin off-white head. The smell of roasted malt, toffee and coffee. Taste of sweet malt, roasted malt, and toffee. A little too much coffee taste for the style, I think. A hint of bitterness on the aftertaste, that is nice. It adds a little balance to the brew. A light body beer that is still pretty good.

May 9, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Metallic aroma with a little bit of roasted malt. The flavor seemed a touch off in mine, just a little metallic. Some nutty flavor and roasted malt. Thin in flavor though.

Mar 21, 2009 22oz bottle from Liquid solutions. Probably one of the "lamer" brews I’ve had from Midnight Sun. Pours a lightly hazed medium brown with a good sized beige head. Nose was quite nutty with toasted malt and light hops. Flavor was much of the same.

Jan 29, 2009 Bottle (22oz) shared with garthicus, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of j&m. Pours a very deep ruby-brown with an average size frothy off-white head. Aroma is lightly roasty along with the "metal" I usually get from ’Browns’, some caramel and chocolate, and finally nuts. The "metal" or light sourness goes away after a while. Flavour’s a bit watery but still good, it’s dry, lightly roasty and with a nutty finish. Average bodied. This is not a favourite style but this is a pretty good version.
