Feb 27, 2007 12oz bottle-A body of brown with a little off white head. Aroma of caramel, smoke, and a little hops. Taste of hops, caramel, and malt. Not bad but I don’t think it fits a brown. A little too much hops.

Feb 26, 2007 Bottle, date-notched "May." Well, a six of Sam is usually welcome in my house, and the price was right (under $6), so here it is. Pours a medium dark brown color under a rocky tan head. Head shows some good tenacity. Smell has plenty of caramel roasted malts to it, with a bit of hop. Taste, though, just doesn’t do it for me. Way too nutty, with bitterness that latches on to the back of the tongue. This is on top of a nice malt base, mind you. Hops are actually too sharp for this profile; not agressive and citrussy, like a pale ale, but just fighting against the malts with the wrong gloves. Am I wrong here, or does this just rub me the wrong way; after all, I liked the concept of the Patriot pack if not the execution; or maybe I shouldn’t have tried this after a slice of smoked Gouda cheese. Will try another bottle later.
