Jul 7, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a medium thin and creamy tan head that recedes slowly. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. The aroma is sweet malt and molasses with a touch of nuts. Medium, smooth body with flavors of malt, nuts and mild chocolate. Touches of hops are present at times as well. The finish is sweet and malty and leaves behind a nutty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Jun 2, 2008 On tap at SDBC. Pours a deep dark amber/brown hue. The nose is that of roasted chestnuts, and it has really nice retention and prickly carbonation. The flavor is extremely malty, with hints of molasses and smooth hops balance. The end is crisp and flavorful. This is a very good brown ale!

May 22, 2008 On tap at San Diego Brewing Company. Dark brown in color with minimal tan head. Smells of malts, caramel and a hint of toastiness. Tastes mildly sweet, big notes of roasted malts and hazel nuts with undertones of caramel, brown sugar and hops. Very smooth and has a nice nutty aftertaste. Not overtly complex, but a good mix of earthy flavors make this very tasty. Not one of the best brown ales, but it’s not bad either.
