Commercial Description:
A nice roasted flavor, with just the right amount of hops, makes it a well-balanced brown ale for an afternoon restoration. A rich malt flavor, chocolate malt being the main flavor on the pallet.

I used to grab this when I was missing my German alt. I think this might still be available from the brewery in larger bottles but I haven't seen it on the store shelves in a few months. This bottle was worth hanging on to for quasi sentimental reasons, and I'm glad I didn't pour it down the drain, but I'm not going to miss it, either.

Has a skunky flavor. It appears to suffer from quality control as do all of the Artist colony beers I have tried. Too much acidic and yeast taste.

I saw the rating directly onder mine and was almost scarred off, but this is a darn good beer. I wouldn't rate it as a top beer, but it's a nice sip while I surf the net.

Cloudy brown with a decent beige head. Sour dough with a touch of roasted malt aroma. Very thin feel with a acidic malt flavor and finish. A dry brown ale that seems to be fermented out with an off yeast. Dry and acidic.

A little confused in the finish. Decent looking pint, just some background sourness that is a bit off putting. I usually only have one per session, as the sour finish becomes too much after a couple of them. Still I like to support my local.
