The pour was a reddish brown color with a tan head that held up well and laced the glass on the way down. The aroma is malted hops with a very complex taste that went from sweet to hoppy to nutty to bitter on the palate. The finish was dry and nutty.

Nov 21, 2008 Pours a deep reddish brown with a tan head. Sweet and malty aroma. Well-balanced flavor that has a decent hop character that I wasn’t used to seeing in brown ales. I liked it.

Nov 1, 2008 strong hops make for a full body, i don’t know why they call it a ’brown’ ale though

Oct 25, 2008 Poured a dark copper reddish brown with a one finger frothy yellowish tan head. The nose was sweet and malty, caramel, earthy malt, not much hop character. The flavor was malty, sweet, definitely residual sugars, still not picking up much hop character. Caramel malt flavor for sure, pretty sweet, definitely in need of that balance it says it has.

Oct 25, 2008 Poors a deep amber red, with a hint of brown. could nearly pass for a red wine in color. Smooth feel with a sweetness that is well balanced with a hoppy bitterness. Roasted malt, caramel, and a hint of chocolate maybe. Nice mixture of flavors leads to an enjoyable brew.
