Aug 1, 2007 On tap at HDG. One of my favorite styles and this one is as roasty as any that I’ve tried. The alcohol is still pretty apparent and I get some toffee and nuts in this. Lacking in the head retention dept though but really tasty.

Jul 29, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber almost brown pour. Thick full off white head. Aroma is somewhat sour but with some sugars. Not overly powerful. Somewhat flat soft palate. Sweet taste with a malty aftertaste.

Jul 28, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy, hazy, dirty red orange. Apricot, orange, citrusy, hoppy. Sweet, acidic, citrusy to the tongue - fades quickly. No bite or residual flavoring . . . wish there was.

Jul 24, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Wow. This is a very solid Smuttynose beer. Almost brown pour, with a nice thick head. Aroma is malty, with roasted notes, chocolate, and nuts. Taste was pretty refreshing and has a very smooth and rich flavor.

Jul 11, 2007 Big beer series...pours a deep dark orange, almost light brown, cloudy color with a nice frothy head. The lacing was nice with solid rings around the mug. The scent was of malt, vanilla, carmel and spice. The taste was very refreshing with some hoppy tones and notes of complexity and bitterness. A very beautiful Old Ale.

Jul 11, 2007 Bottle. Sweet malty aroma, roasty and earthy with some burnt chocolate and lots of nuttiness. Garnet-brown body, clear with a large soapy and lacing beige head. Taste is medium-bitter with lots of roast and nuts, earth and toffee. Dry! Mouthfeel is medium with loads of dryness, aftertaste bone dry with roast and a minute lick of hops. One of the better browns I’ve had, but a bit hard to finish up.

Jul 10, 2007 Bottle provided to me by Bmartin sometime ago. Pours out a brown color with a tan head on it. Smell is sweet and has some caramel on the nose. Somewhat fruity smelling as well. Taste is sweet and rich, not really any alcohol detected. Some sweet vanilla flavors too. Interesting beer, and as usual from Smutty, its worth trying. I will give my other bottle a shot in a year or so. Not bad, thanks.
