BlackDonald (428), Anchorage, Alaska, USA May 12, 2008 A pretty decent and well made brown ale overall. Has a rich kind of moist feeling in the mouth, like biting into a fresh piece of chocolate cake, lots of rich caramel, and a sloid well balanced structure. A great session ale. badgerben (2863), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 9, 2008 Thanks to Skyview! Dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is slightly reminicent of Lysol. Nutty flavor and lots of dry malt. There is a kind of ’freshness’ on the finish... Kind of like the cool burning of wintergreen, but not the wintergreen flavor. gator2683 (60), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 23, 2008 impressively dark, but the flavor falls flat. smells nutty, tastes malty, not much to say ChainGangGuy (1194), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Feb 22, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark chestnut brown body with a small, light beige head.
Smell: Malty aroma predominately of toasted nuts, but with lesser notes of caramel and chocolate.
Taste: Brown maltiness brings out a flavor of earthy, toasted nuts with a subtle caramel sweetness. Splash of chocolate water. Slight hint of fruit. Again, there’s not much hopwise going on beyond a little light bitterness. Quick finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A pleasant, mild, and quite drinkable brown ale. SuzyGreenberg (700), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 27, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours clear reddish brown with no head; aromas come off stale with a mix of malts and brown sugar; light bodied with very mild flavors; not too much going on with this brown
