Sep 16, 2009 Pours deep brown into red. 2 fingers of head and little lacing. Aroma is of cinnamon and caramel with some floral hop scents. Flavor is malty with hints of chocolate but finishes dry. Pretty good.

Sep 13, 2009 Dark amber pour into thick foamy tan head that slowly melts into a ring of heavy lacing. Aroma of malt and roasted nuts. Initial flavors of roasted nuts and caramel malts fading to a slightly hoppy bitter finish.

Sep 13, 2009 Updated: Sep 27, 2009bottle - Pours clear brown with a caramel malt and nut aroma. It has a tasty flavor of roast caramel malt and nuts with some mild hops in the background. A little thin but smooth nonetheless.

Sep 13, 2009 12oz bottle. a clear brown under a small beige head. caramel malt and toasted nuts in aroma. moderately sweet. flavor is toasty and nutty with enough malts and sweetness to keep it interesting. a bit high on the carbonation. light body. tasty and simple. nothing like a good brown!

Sep 12, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Amber brown with a foamy head. Okay head retention.
Aroma: Dark caramel, nuts, slight off metallic scent. Fairly straight forward for a brown.
Taste: Slightly sour hop note. Light nuttiness and some husk notes. Okay, but a bit light in the flavor department. As the beer warms I get a bit of cardboard.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light, dry mouthfeel. Short, tasteless finish.
Overall: A pretty mediocre and possibly slightly oxidized brown. Skip this one. Even if fresh, I am not sure it would be all that great.

Sep 10, 2009 A: Poured with a small, tan head. What head there was dissipated quickly to a thin foam. Body is clear, but a dark brown color.
S: Smells of roasted malt... maybe a slight coffee twinge in there.
T: Dominating malt flavor with some roasted flavors to it. Hints of chocolate start to come through but disappear before I can identify them for sure. Short duration of flavor.
M: Actually comes across as kind of thin, despite some initial oiliness... not much to the body, really.
D: Easy to drink, but not a spectacular English Brown Ale. Nothing to set it apart from others of its class, but it’s still a decent beer, if slightly disappointing.
