Arnoud (35), Hawthorne, New Jersey, USA Mar 13, 2005 On handpump at the Nodding Head. Redish-brown with minimal head. Nose is roasted malt, caramel, nuts. Palate first seems silky but then noticably thin. Very beguiling beer as it tasted really good at first but by the third or fourth sip seemed not so good. Nutty and a bit too sweet. A very average and unadventurous beer. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 26, 2005 Very nice brown ale. Pours a nice dark brown and tastes very nice and malty. The nose is a little bit weaker, but nice. This was the best of the sampler that I had. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA Dec 22, 2004 A brown ale that is true to style. It had a quickly disappearing head. Good malt flavor, slightly sweet, short aftertaste Ringo (959), Loveland, Colorado, USA Oct 4, 2004 Draft. I love a good, rich brown ale that does not taste like a porter, and this is one of the best that I have had. I could have a keg of something like this in my house and enjoy it to the last drop. hopdog (5527), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2004 On tap. Poured a dark brown with a tan head. Malty and nutty aroma and tastes. Average brown ale. pobenohne (504), Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2004 On draft at Grace Tavern. Clear, dark brew, no head, no lacing - looks kind of like a flat cola. Mild and unimpressive - another example of why I should stay away from brown ales. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 23, 2004 Menthol, mint, Ricola cough drops, malty. Dark brown-red with tan lacing head. Medium bodied with light medium carbonation. Starts with heavy malts, light smokiness, chocolate. Good hops acidity and bitterness. Light sweetness with herbal nutty finish and after. Dry after.
Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jul 18, 2004 Updated: Sep 21, 2004A brown ale? This was pure crap. No real caramel taste, no real roasted taste, no real taste period. Very dissapointing.
