omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 12, 2006 <i>Draught at the brewpub. </i> Nut brown. Dominated by roasty malt, but with a light soapy hop profile to accompany it. The mouthfeel is rounded and firm. A good, simple beer, but a mild would need softer mouthfeel to grab my attention. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 12, 2007 <b>Name:</b> Dawn Patrol Dark<br />

clear dark burgandy, fine tan head, sheets of lace,
sweet dark caramel malt aroma with earthy hops,
creamy body,
dark caramel malt flavor, lots of chocolate character, just a touch of sweetness from the caramel is balanced by earthy hops, <br />

hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2004 On tap @ Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Poured a dark brown color with a large of white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel and nuts. Some roasted malts. Lightly sweet. hopscotch (4679), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jun 12, 2004 On tap at Pizza Port, Solana Beach...Very dark, clear, cherry wood-colored ale. Small, creamy, off-white head. Chocolately aroma and flavor. Light-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not at all bad for a mild. More like a nut brown. MartinT (4458), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 18, 2004 Nutty toffee and roasted malt combine to create an interesting brown ale with subtle roasty bitterness…Great drinkability spiced with a few coffee beans…A morning quaffer if there ever was one…
