Feb 29, 2008 Pours a darks brown with little off-white head. Smells of roasted malt and caramel sugars. Tastes slightly bitter with lingering malt flavors, maybe some figs.

Feb 26, 2008 Reddish-brown body and an off-white head. The head dissipated rather quickly, and there was hardly a lace to mention. Very light in the aroma department, and the same intensity can be found in the flavor. Actually, the aftertaste isn’t too bad, but that’s the beer’s finest quality. Fairly tame carbonation, and an overall watery feel. This isn’t a bad reprsentation of the style, but it isn’t all that good of one, either.

Feb 24, 2008 A very sub par brown ale. Aroma was weak. Coffee and chocolate mix that you really have to search for. Pour was a deep brown with a nice lasting one finger tan head. Taste was very weak. Slight nuts and biscuit mixed with caramel malt, but it is not strong enough to shine through the carbonation. Blah.

Feb 22, 2008 Brown pour, obviously. Biscuits and yeast in the nose. The taste was about the same. not a very interesting beer. too watery. Is it just me or do all Sam Adams products have the same underlying taste?

Feb 22, 2008 draft: interesting story, my friend told me about this beer, said it was his favorite ever, couldn’t find a six pack of it anywhere so we drove about 50 miles to this irish pub we knew that had it on tap, quite a taste, lovely tan head, holds a long time, rich caramel flavor.

Feb 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep shade of brown with a 1/4 head that recedes. Aroma of malts, nuts, and a hint of caramel. Semi-sweet malty entry leads into a nutty, slightly bitter finish with hints of caramel. Not too complex, pretty basic, but a solid feel on the palate and good drinkability helps its cause.
