Bottle: The aroma is equal parts nuts, roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. It pours a transparent mahogany when held to the light with a small off-white head that fades quickly to a spotty film. The flavor start moderately roasty with nut and hints of coffee. There is some light chocolate and caramel in the background. The finish has some light-moderate piny bitterness, more nuts, and a hint of some burnt grain. Light-medium bodied with somewhat lively carbonation.

Jul 8, 2008 Its taste clean but a good brown ale is not really the way its supposed to be. Slightly smokey with some noticeable hops. Thin but very drinkable.

Jul 8, 2008 The aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, cream, and hops. The appearance is brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma but a little too clean for the style. The palate is a little too thin. Overall it’s good.

Jun 3, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a small, wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Altogether mild aroma, but there are some notes present smelling of walnuts, a single drop of chocolate, and a splash of black tea.
Taste: Roasted nuts and a teaspoon of table sugar. The vaguest hints of chocolate and caramel. Very, very light bitterness interrupts, then it’s back to the nuts.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Ah, nuts!
