tedovertu (106), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Jul 6, 2008 Bottle, small white head with fair lacing. Medium amber body. Moderately heavy hoppiness to the aroma. Bitter finish. Pretty bland beer but drinkable.
hogan873 (191), Joliet, Illinois, USA Aug 28, 2008 Dark brown body with a thick beige head that leaves nice lacing. Light, sweet, nutty aroma. Weak, watery palate. A little malty sweetness up front leads to some tree bark bitterness. Dry finish with a bitter aftertaste. Not one of my favorites. DrDavid (200), , Vermont, USA Aug 20, 2008 (Bottle). Nuts and caramel aroma. Brown amber in color with a thin head. Flavor not bad (quite a bit better than I expected), although certainly not among the best of brown ales. Good carbonation, some nuttiness and sweet caramel. But muted below the level of making a truly favorable impact. Finish is very dry. phishpond417 (1420), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours a semi cloudy dark brown colour with a medium sized beige head. Ntty, oak and slight grassy notes in the aroma. Peanuts, grain and soft toffee flavors throughout. Finish is lingering. jcr (835), Jasper, Indiana, USA Aug 9, 2008 Draft at Parkside Restaurant. Clear light to medium brown body with a spare off-white head. Nice aroma of cooke, toasted malts and nuts. Hints of flowers in the background. Also some hints of sweet brown sugar. The flavor was lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic and lightly bitter. The finish was moderately bitter. Medium body with a thin texture and lively carbonation. Comfortable and uneventful.
