Jan 6, 2010 Dark amber pour, a smallish tan head produces an initially dense but wholly temporary lacing. Resinous nutty aroma. Flavor is built around a semi-sweet chocolate malt base, offsetting bitterness is more nutty than hoppy. A bit of dark fruit, and a bit lactic scuzziness going on. Medium body.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle: Straight up Brown, or a burnt caramel perhaps, thin spritzy off-white, spotty lacing. Soft toasted malt nose, seems mildly sweet, minor cocoa and lactose. Smooth malt base, pale sweetness, minor toasted
malt feel, very low hop profile. Simple and straight forward. Clean on the exit. Lingering malts with a minor cocoa flair. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Pretty solid Brown, not like a lot of ones out here
that tend to be over hopped. Enjoyable. &bnsp Thanks to the big man Styles for the bottle!

Jan 1, 2010 I got a good dose of the sourness that some people describe--though there were some decent brown ale flavors in there, the overall complexion was dominated by the sour chocolate milk quality. Somewhat thin palate, as well. Bottle.

Dec 30, 2009 On tap. Poured a deep clear brown with a tan head. Aroma was full of malty notes (hay, bread, nuts and roasted notes). The same malt notes were strong in the flavor with a hint of raisins lying underneath.

Dec 24, 2009 Updated: Dec 30, 2009bottle. pours a clear copper with barely any head. low carbonation. notes of coffee, rubber, toast, medicine. tastes more like a bock than a brown ale, who knows. I can actually see how this would go well with a stew or roast, like the commercial description suggests. I didn’t particularly care for this one though.

Dec 23, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small white head. A sweet nutty caramel malt aroma. The flavor is nice; sweet caramel, rich toasted malts, but some smoky ashy flavors as well. Rich and sweet. Enjoyable.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours a clear purple brown with nice layer of bubbly tan head. Aroma is very sweet molases, dark cherries, roasted nuts, and some doughiness. Flavor is pretty light start then a warming boozy bitterness followed by a bit of a licorice doughy fruit flavor. Weird dryer finish. Overall, an ok beer but not fabulous.
