Mar 31, 2008 On cask at Taproom. Pours dark, creamy brown with a large head. Very malty with vanilla, nutty, coffee, and some chocolate flavors. Very bready and nutty aroma. This was a good beer to try, put very slow to drink.

As the description says, on cask at the Tap Room. Opaque brown pour with a light-tan colored, Guinness-like head. Great nutty, bready, sweet, malty aroma and flavor to match. Flavor also had a light caramel note to it. Dry finish. Not exceptionally easy to drink, but good nonetheless.

Oct 5, 2005 Cask at Taproom, 2005- Pours a dark opaque brown, with a large, lasting head. Aroma is sweet with notes of vanilla, dark fruit, honey, and woody notes. Flavor mirrors aroma perfectly, and this beer comes across with a flavor of bourbon, and an alcohol bite to match. Great complex flavor, though not terribly quaffable.

Aug 11, 2005 Very dark body, no head. Sweet, malty and nutty, also bitter. Not too bad, but I know I’m biased and don’t like brown ales to begin with.

Jul 30, 2005 (cask conditioned at the Tap Room) Lovely deep chocolate brown with full light tan head. Left great lace on the glass. Aroma of slightly sweet malt. Flavor is malt, hints of caramel and nut. Not too sweet. A whisper of hops in the finish. Full mouth feel. Excellent.
