SubstanceT (1090), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA Jun 1, 2004 Amber with a thin quickly discipating tan frothy head. Slippery lacing left on glass. Nose is malty with just a tad of caramel and hops. The taste is lots of caramel and cream but in a very dilute kind of way. Maybe brewed with lager yeast=lager funk? Kind of bland and wattery. FROTHINGSLOSH (1965), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 1, 2004 Updated: Aug 12, 2007This beer came in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a nice mahogany color with a trace of a tan head. There is a nice sour nut scent. The flavor is bitter and mildly nutty. The bitterness fades to a sourness on the aftertaste. There is very little sweetness to this beer. The flavor is very disappointing given the color and scent. hopdog (5535), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 28, 2004 Medium brown in color with a small off white head. Sweet smell, nutty, and brown sugar. Malty flavor with a sourish after taste. Smells better than it tastes. Fizzy body. I could not finish the whole bottle. Kinz (2179), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA May 15, 2004 Medium brown, OK head. Fudgy aroma. Flavor is also a bit fudgy, reminiscent of cheap hot fudge on a sundae at Baskin Robins. As it warms, something kind of ashy works its way into the flavor, and isn’t a welcome addition. Sort of sweet too. Not my favorite. crazyvin (1246), New York, USA May 2, 2004 not too impressive. poured a nice brown color with no head. It had a sweet candy like aroma. taste was malty there were not much in the way of hops, with hints of chocolate. a light carbonation feel to it. Nexxus (261), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Apr 28, 2004 Slightly hazy reddish amber with a thick diminishing frothy off white head. Surprisingly fruity aroma of pear, red apple, caramel, and bread. Light medium watery body with lively carbonation. Light nutty, fruity flavor of red apple, hazelnut and bread with a hint of pepper. Good. Another thanks to Slikwily for this one. Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA Apr 23, 2004 This is a very weak brown ale. Even weaker than than the over-rated new castle. I just don't get it. Why? Why?why? Why? Why? Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA Apr 23, 2004 This brown ale pours with a deep reddish-brown body topped by a medium thick, tan head with some lacing. The aromais wierd. It's sweet and slightly malty with slight nutty notes, but I'm getting hints of peppermint(?). The flavor is very similar. I just don't like this brown allthat much. Medium bodied and tingly from the carbonation.
