3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle. This is a decent brown ale. I don’t really like brown ales normally. Nice nutty aromas and flavors. Flavors move into caramel and chocolate all with a very nice toasty character. Pretty good
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Mohagony brown color; small head of various size bubbles. Aroma of wood, dark malts, old sneakers. Flavor has some nice malts but there’s some sour funkiness, I’m guessing an undesired attribute. I’ve had this a few times and it’s not as good as the Old Monkeyshine, and neither are the rest of their distributed bottle line.

Dark brown with a velvetty tan head. Aroma is roasty and bitter. Flavor is mostly roasty, chocolate, and herbal hops that dont seem to fit well with the style. Not my favorite Brown.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Dark brown with a fluffy tan head. Molasses and hops aroma. Tangy chocolate and slightly roasty taste. Decent.

bottle, Good malts, light hops, a bit of chalk roast, rather nice I enjoyed this brew.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at No Anchovies. A very nice brown ale with malty strengths that come out of a solid nutty flavor. Goes down very smooth. A well crafted brew.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours midnight brown w/ a tall lasting froth that takes forever to come down. A thick downy canopy is the resulting lace. Nice! Aromas of tart roasted malts. Hmm? Medium nectar weight w/ ample residual effers that explode on the palate. A strong roast complex is obtrusive and then this soured skank slaps me in the face. Roasted nut shells and coffee bean, sour dark fruits, and a moderate hop profile push forward. The finish is strong and offensive. Overall: The commercial description is way off. I read other reviews and discover the sour flavors are common. My bottle had the month of June notched out of it.
