Nov 18, 2007 Very dark brown with a thick frothy head. Aroma was that of chocolate and caramel. Smooth flavor of Chocolate, caramel, and a hint of smoke that was easy to drink.

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.

Jun 24, 2008 Draft - part of sampler at brewery. Pours a med-to-dark brown color with a nice creamy, off=white head. Aroma is roasted malts and a hint of semi-dark chocolate. Flavor is mostly the roasted malts, with a slight balancing with some mild hops and a little sweetness from the chocolate notes. Medium bodied. Rather drinkable.

Dec 21, 2002 Moderately respectable. Not complex enough, and the finish drops off pretty quick.

Dec 12, 2001 Black, almost opaque body beneath a fluffy white head, HEAVY lacing, imparting a soft roasty aroma. Starts brilliantly, offering a definitive and exceptional roasted coffee flavor supported by mild chocolate malt, toasted barley, and controlled sweetness, giving this qualities more akin to a dry stout than scotch ale. Unfortunately, and quite inexplicably, this beer loses its charm in a hurry, degrading to a watery, muddled, bland mess by the bottom of the glass. I’ve never tried a beer that started off so promising and ended so disappointingly.

Oct 19, 2008 Deep brown pour, nose is quite roasty. Mouth was chocolaty and very enjoyable. As a self exclaimed hated of brown ales, this was quite a treat!
