12 oz. bottle. Ah, the ability of clear glass bottles to ruin a beer. Having had this beer numerous times before, I decided to rate it from a left over six pack that a buddy left at the house. Now he’s not a beer lover. If he was, he’d have noticed the fact this this smells of skunked Straub. Fizzy, off-white head with moderate lacing. Brown with amber hues. Like I said, the nose is less that desirable, sewer and skunk cabbage. Some how, some way a touch of malt comes through, though it’s mostly soapy astringency and mild bitter. This sample definitely doesn’t live up to the normally solid brown ale. Just a thought, brown ale in a brown bottle. . . . just a thought. Rating from memory.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle . Light Brown color, malty, nutty aroma. Flavor with notes of nuts,hops, and toffee. Flavor is much the same as the aroma.Thin mouthfeel, and fairly clean dry finish.
