COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

Very good. I can only find it a few places in San Diego, but I when I do I buy everything they have. This is like a Newcastle on Black Tar Heroin. Extremely good beer. Starts nice, finishes with a nap.

Bottle. Rich roasted nutty brown malt aroma. Maybe with hints of coffee and chocolate. Suggestive of a porter, somewhat. Deep brown color with a white ring for head. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor definitely has chocolate, dark roasted nutty malt, and an underlying slight bit of sour. Finish is rather dry, and has a bit of hop. Seems like a mix of a coarse American brown ale and a smooth porter. Very nice drink.

On draft at Hamilton’s Tavern, rich coffee type hue with thin brown head. Light roasted malts lead to a sweeping warm hop, very deep roasting/chewy nut layer. Mild abv. with a sweet quick finish. A perfect accopanyment to my bar nuts and leftover enchilada flavored cheetos~

12oz Bottle from Bev Mo, poured a dark brown with a nice creamy head. Very nice aroma! Toasty, sweet, and light hops. Medium body with rich, sweet roasted flavor and easy finish. This is a very good beer thats getting better as it warms

Bottle: Pours a rich brown with ruby tones and a huge beige head. Nose is hoppy with hints of roasted malt. Flavor is dark and malty, a bit of burnt malt. Some florals and tangy bitterness that I can’t put my finger on. A little earthy. Thin in the body, but refreshing.
