checkmatei1 (234), Willow Grove, USA Apr 21, 2008 Bottle: Pours a dark brown. The aroma was malty caramel. The flavor was very sweet for a brown ale. It was smooth however, just not my favorite brown ale.
jkwalking05 (171), Arlington, Texas, USA Jul 26, 2008 Light brown color and thick head entice. There is a sweet malty aroma. The taste is less flavorful than expected but still has a malty tones with hints of hops at the back of the throat. GMUcrew7 (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jul 11, 2008 Pours completely transparent brown with a tan head. Nice malty aroma with a heavy caramel backing. Flavor is a little more of a complex malt variety with some nuts and a pretty decent hop balance. Has a watery cheap beer palate that detracts from the beer. carruthm (347), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 2, 2008 I’m a sucker for brown ales and Sam Adams does a credible one. Reddish tinge, small head, expected nuts and caramel nose, but like many SA beers, too watery of a finish. Oakes (6808), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jul 2, 2008 Bright reddish-brown. No head. The aroma is nutty and caramelly. Decent body. Toasty, with a hint of chocolate sweetness. Thin in the finish. Jblauvs (131), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 22, 2008 brown pour with a frothy tan head. malty aromas come through the metallic nose. a little over carbonated, some caramel malt and nuttiness. Not bad overall
