jedimasternick (89), Tucson, Arizona, USA Dec 23, 2002 An average dark ale that tastes very american and is far behind Belgian and German ales.
neo_hippie2 (114), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Aug 20, 2008 Dark amber/brown with hints of ruby. Generous creamy head. I wasn’t expecting such a robust appearance but im not complaining there. Lots of caramelized, sweet malts with a touch of hops. Not quite as much of the roasted or nutty characters that many browns have though. Overall, a pretty good beer, worth a try. AOF (280), Naperville, Illinois, USA Aug 13, 2008 Deep brown color, with rich ruby undertones. Full creamy head, a visually better looking beer then I had expected. Some sweet malt in the nose, but misses some of the nutty and sugary aromas of browns I have enjoyed. Finishes a little fast and somewhat hoppy. gueuze_is_god (106), Graham, North Carolina, USA Aug 6, 2008 Bottle, coarse bubbled head collapses quickly, rich amber/brown/ garnet hue. Smells just like Yuengling Lager to me, a bit stale, some wet cardboard. Taste has a mild a hop backbone, a bit lagerish, just a trace of brown ale flavor, watery mouthfeel, highly attenuated without much malt body. Finishes watery with a quickly dissipating hop flavor. Doesn’t cross the finish line with a 3 rating for me. JustinFromAL (53), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Aug 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep brown with a reddish tint, with two finger tan head. Malty aroma. Not what I expected when I saw "brown" ale. Not a lot of flavor, but what is there is a bit watery with a malty taste. phishpond417 (1360), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 28, 2008 This is not my kind of brown ale..Pours a clear copper colour with decent size off white head. lacing is nice, but thin and scattered. aroma is a little metallicy and malty at times. touch of nuttiness, but mostly watery at times. weak brown ale in my opinion.
