Jan 4, 2009 550ml bottle.
Red-brown beer with a strong creamy tan head. Nutty, caramely sweet aroma with some smoke. Sweet full smokey flavour with some syrupy sweetness and a good bitterness as well. Slightly floral finish. Well rounded beer.

Jan 2, 2009 Like a Porter without all the work! It’s almost like a great, smooth brown ale was mixed with a hearty porter or stout and this was created. It’s easy to sip at with an aroma and nutty chocolaty flavor that comes on slowly after the sip is downed. It’s a warmth that stays with you. It is sweet like any other brown ale, but still retains a great amount of smokiness.

Jan 1, 2009 Christmas 2008 Ale. This brewer has some great brews. I am generally not a brown ale fan. the ale poured a light brown with a nice head that satyed with the beer. Modest carbonization and medium body. Some sweetness in the aftertaste.

Dec 28, 2008 Nice chestnut color with a solid walnut colored head. Aroma roasted malt, toasted nuts, and a little toffee. Definitely can sense the english influence here. Flavor similar to the nose...highly drinkable but a bit thin. A good example of the style but not amazing.

Dec 25, 2008 An excellent brown ale. Pours amber brown with a nice head. Aroma of nut and sweet bread. Flavor is malty, smooth, with a nutty hint, mostly pecan. Yummy.

Dec 23, 2008 I like this beer, but somehow I feel it is overrated a bit... Nose is nuts and malts. Flavor is the same, but a bit thin mouthfeel. Not bad, just not one of my favorites from Sam Smith.
