arventresca (156), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Apr 21, 2008 Draft at brewpub. I had this but it was called Knucklehead Brown Ale. Smell of burnt almond and coffee. Dark Brown appearance. Taste of smoked almost burnt almond. Some reason this beer tasted super to me. Best beer sample at pub. One of the best browns I have had. freekyp (792), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA Oct 3, 2007 Pours a deep chestnut with slight off-white lacing. The aroma was earthy with a sligh dusty overtone, and overwhelming bandaid note, which carried over into the flavor as well. Flawed. bubbleflubber (648), Collinsville, Virginia, USA Jul 26, 2006 This was brewed under "All Aroun’ Brown". A deep mahogany pour with a small head, retention and lace. A definitive caramel malt nose. Caramel and dark roasted flavors lead into a cherry-nut finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and subtle. Fruit notes really open up as the beer warms. Nice offering here. Arnie (272), Chicagoland, IL, Illinois, USA Jul 21, 2006 Had this as "All Aroun’ Brown" (Asuuming it’s the same) on tap at the brewery. Dark, deep and rich, with a nose of coffee/chocolate and a heavy finish. Excellent, reminds me more of a porter than a brown ale. gws57 (988), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Jun 20, 2006 Had this one on draught in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Dark brown and clear pour, with a nose of chocolate, and notes of cocoa powder and some cherry, different but good.
