(16 oz. (canned 08/03/11) via trade with pantanap, thanks Kan!) Pours dark brown with some red-brown highlights. Three fingers of stout, level khaki head. Aroma of nut, chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Mouthfeel smooth and full. Flavor of nut and chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Just a hint of dishrag/sour as it hits the back end. The flavor is a bit weak but certainly a better than average brown ale.

16 oz can brought back by my dear friend Kathy from her trip to the frozen tundra of Minnesota. Nice brown pour with hints of red and a decent fluffy tan head. Big whiff of chocolate and oatmeal with some light hop aroma as well. Nice flavors of caramel, chocolate and oatmeal with a surprisingly large hop bite for the style. Very enjoyble and I cannot wait to break into the Furious she brought me!

On tap at Ike’s in the MSP Airport:
Pours a ruby brown with a demium creamy tan head.
Aroma is light chocolate and hazelnut, some woody hop bitterness and a light burnt vanilla.
Flavour is nice dark roast malt, again hazelnut and bitter bakers chocolate. Hop tones balanced out with the roast nut flavours well as you drink.
A little thin on the palate for me which kept it from being really really good.
