Very pretty rust brown pour with an inch of yellow/tan head. Aroma is quite caramelly and sweet with a few nuts. The body has a nice smooth and light feel to it. Great malty flavor at first with dark nuts and spices in there too. A slightly hoppy and dry finish. Flavors are a little subdued, but not bad. Thinner then other brown ales I remember.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a dark brown with minimal head. The nose is sweet with malt. Lightly carbonated. The finish was disappointingly abrupt.

Jul 16, 2008 Decent brew. Pours hazy brown with little to no head that left quickly. Sweet, malty aroma, smells of caramel and fruit. Very smooth taste with light carbonation. Easy drinker, would make nice session beer.

does not count  Jul 15, 2008 I poured this from a growler - it is a nice dark brown, but leaves almost no head (and what it does leave disappears quickly). It isn’t overpoweringly strong in taste or smell - the malts are apparent, with a touch of brown sugar and raisins. Pleasant, but not extraordinary.

Jul 15, 2008 Got a single bottle for a buck because it was missing the label, so it was a bit of a crapshoot as to what beer it was, but what the hey, im a risk taker. Poured dark brown, hence the beer being old brown doggy. Fairly heavy for a brown, rich and caramel-ey. Similar in taste and appearance to Bender. Good stuff, glad i took the gamble on this.

Jul 10, 2008 I was not a huge fan ot the after taste, but it was a nice brown ale that wasn’t too heavy.
