Aroma is toasted grain and a fair dose of pungent hop bitterness. Flavor is alternately grainy-dry/nutty, lightly fruity, and hop-bitter. The flavors don’t really integrate well. Thinnish-to-medium palate with grainy aftertaste. Didn’t care much for this one.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a clear dark brown color with a medium beige head that diminishes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and roasted malt. Light body with a roasty character and flavors of bready malt, hops and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a toasted malt aftertaste. Decent all around.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 holdenn (2023) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 20, 2012
Party member mug at the tap room. Reddish brown with a beige head. Toasted malt aroma with fruity kool-aid. Bitter fruit hops that wipe out that toasted malt. It felt bright and bitter at first but it’s becoming muddled with the toasted malts and faded red fruits. Still decent.

Filtered amber-brown. Thin white/off-white head. Fruity amber and brown malt aroma. A touch odd, bitter caramel tones, slight burnt taste. Clean on the palates, but some faint buttery off tones. Toasty, but doesn’t nail it.

Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Solid complex toasted sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Newk (299) - - SEP 27, 2011
this poured a good solid brown color.
darker nose but not on the big and rich side. Balanced and aromatic with tones of caramel, malts, and chocolate tones
medium bodied with a good feel, but the tones aren’t as deep as they are on the nose. The flavor that dominates is mostly caramel with some malt tones as well
this is a quality brown ale. Balanced and easy drinking that is enjoyable with a good caramel finish
