Apr 1, 2007 Draft at the Chicago location. Came out brown (go figure). Nose is toasty malts, light nuttiness, cocoa, caramel, and thinned chocolate. Taste is caramel, cocoa, lighter chocolate notes and sweet malts. Faded hops as well. Body is medium and chewy in spots. Finishes with more cocoa, caramel and soft chocolate. Again this helped my meal a bit.

Mar 6, 2006 On tap at the Bethesda location. Dark amber to a light brown color with a thin white head. At first there’s no aroma, but after the beer warms, you can detect a slight caramel toffee scent. Malty and chocolatey flavor Caramel notes as well. I think this was being offered as a cask-conditioned ale at the time- it seemed rather smooth and mildly carbonated.

Jul 28, 2003 Tasted at the Cincinnati location. Dark brown color with a thin light beige head and thin lacing. Light aroma of nuts and malt. Medium-bodied and smooth with a decent roasty/nutty flavor. Very smooth and malty finish. Not bad.

Dec 4, 2002 Very yummy. Dark brown ale with a lighter body that belies its true nature. Rather malty, yet mild enough to drink as a session ale. One of RBottom’s best ales. Think Newcastle and you’re not far off.

Apr 8, 2003 Soft, broadly malty, mildly creamy. Another mild brown, but attractive for what flavors it produces. Slight sour hit. (on tap, Rock Bottom, downtown Chicago, IL)

Jun 29, 2004 (Draft: Rock Bottom in Campbell, CA) Sweet, toasty, malty and minimally bitter, this brown ale is a departure from the standard American style brown; The flavor remains consistent from start to finish; Sweet, malty nose is lightly chocolaty; Deep brown color with a slightly ruddy tone; Light tan head has very good retention and leaves a fair amount of lacing

Apr 8, 2004 Boston. Had I closed my eyes, there was nothing about this that would have made me think Brown Ale. It was clean drinking, fiarly hoppy, but there weren't the loveable fruit and nuts qualities there that I really enjoy in alts and English browns.
