Jul 25, 2002 Just fantastic, plain and simple. I couldn’t stop drinking it! Nutty, with a strong smooth malt presence. Somewhat sweet with a hint of bitterness. Prost!

Dec 21, 2002 One of the best nut-brown ales I’ve tried to date. Much better flavor than I expected!

Feb 1, 2009 Sampled in Feb 09 from 12 fl. oz. bottle no. 2678-I157. Part of the Saranac Winter 12-pack. No expiration date listed on the bottle or case. The appearance is a gorgeous dark brown with a long standing foamy off-white head, great lacing, and nice clarity. An inviting scent of malts, nuts, and hops. Bolder mouthfeel that holds its texture even after swishing on the tongue for about 30 seconds. The taste sports a slick balance of malts and hopswith a bitter chaser and a slightly dry finish. No aftertaste to speak of. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. Good job Saranac!

Dec 14, 2008 "Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: The body had a nice deep brownish amber color with good clarity. Its head was light tan in color, big and think with very good retention. It also made lots of lacing on the glass. Smell: Its aroma has big, sweet and malty body with some light nutty and fruity notes. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has a solid toasted malty character with a mellow buttery/nutty presence. Hop flavor is modest, slightly floral, and adds just enough bitterness for some balance. The hops comes out more towards the finish which is fairly clean and somewhat dryer. The texture is wet and easy drinking with average carbonation and a medium body. Notes: Overall this is a solid ale and works well as one of Saranac’s Winter Seasonal beers. "

Dec 6, 2003 2003 bottle. Pours a transparent mahogany with a 2cm light brown head. Aroma is nutty with a hint of chocolate. Start is roasty coffee flavor blending into a nice malty coffee aftertaste. Palate is good. Aftertaste makes you keep wanting to come back. Great job Saranac!

Dec 12, 2003 Nice clear orange brown body with a large egg shell head that fades slowly with a great lace. Aroma is a mild citrus, floral hop with hints of malt. Initial flavor was slightly sweet Almost candy, orange, and chocolate. This fades into a nice nutty finish. There is a bit of hop flavor through out, but no bitterness. Palate is smooth and some what dry. Very good, very drinkable.
