Nov. 2006 - Run of the mill brown ale. Chestnut brown pour, minimal head and lacing. Aroma was caramel, maltiness. The flavor was more of the same...caramel, not sweet, some roastiness and an odd fruitiness that wasn’t pleasant

Pours dark brown with an off white head. Faint notes of caramel and toffee. Flavor is nutty and smooth but too watery.

2007 Draft.....Well this seems to be out of retirement...Pours a dark mahogany, with a non-lasting off white head....mild aromas of toffee and malt...flavor is brown sugar with molasses essences, sweet and light...the sweetness hurts my teeth for a second (I have sensitive teeth)...weak coffee- caramel finish....still good in 2008 growler tasting

Looks like this one is back, but its only decent. Brown color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with some molasses, caramel, and nuts. Flavor is nutty and malty with a light hop backing. Not bad, but too average to say much about.

On tap at the Royersford location. Pours a medium reddish brown with red/orange when held to the light. Smaller light tan bubbly head that did not really sustain. Aroma of toasted malts, nuts and maybe a light hop. Flavor of nuts, chocolate, toasy malts, caramel, coffee and toffee. This one was mellow in the aroma (as expected) but actually had a very nice flavor.
