Can: pours a very dark brown with a tan head, chocolate, malty aroma, taste of chocolate, malt, vanilla, coffee, medium mouthfeel. This is a really nice brown. Probably one of the better ones I’ve had.

via trade with badgerben - this is what i expect from a brown ale...to me one of the most underrated beer styles. nice malty sweetness....caramel malts, slight roast, some nuttiness. crisp hop bitterness balances it out without overtaking the malt flavor. solid offering

What a surprise, a great tasting brew in a can! It does defy traditional categories as this beer reminds me of a delicious brown ale first, and yet the belgium malts come through along with what hints as a stout. Light sweetness, medium body, lively, medium length clean finish. Great all around. Very drinkable. Served cold.

16oz can, no date from hellomynameis, thank you Zac! Pours a clear orange brown with a 1/2 finger beige head. Toasted grain, sweet caramel and vanilla are up front. Hints of chocolate and light roasted malts in the background. Flavor adds light grassy hops and a little more roasted malts. Finish is semi-dry with some roasty malts. Minimal bitterness. Light to moderate carbonation with a smooth medium body. A great brown ale--hooray for the Futurama reference.

It was dark brown in color with a spare diminishing head. The lacing was excellent. It had a very smooth taste with a coffee flavor.

can from Stine,thanks. Pours a deep brown with a medium, long lasting tan head. Aroma-caramel, nutty malt with touches of chocolate and some floral hop suggestions. Taste is caramel, light chocolate, somewhat nutty, with a moderate amount of oats. Body is creamy and lightly slick. Some floral hops in the background, light bitter finish. Probably the best brown ale I’ve had.

Pours a cola brown black with a thin head and cola like bubbles. The nose is a bit roasty with that cola sort of acidity. Maybe it’s in my head? There’s a round relatively sweet malt and a slightly dry chocolate character. A bit of hops strikes me as slightly out of place, but still nice. A bit thin on the tongue, though not watery, this has certainly been filtered fairly well and force carbonated, but since it’s in a can, I can’t make off for that. The flavor is a step above. A round balanced dark malt bill complete with chocolate and hints of the caramel and vanilla they claim should be there. The hops are above and beyond what I expected, but fitting and welcome. Floral cascade like hops, really make this a beer worth drinking. The finish lingers with pleasantly dry roast and bitter hops. a bit acidic. Reminds me of a hopped up Bell Best Brown. I would make this my regular session beer if it were distributed here.

Big thanks to Quake1028 for bringing this cool 16oz can along.
Pours very deep amber with nice tan head. Slightly sweet caramelized malt and slightly nutty aroma. The aroma is a bit on the light side. The flavor has that nuttiness along with a soft rye-ish quality that I’ll take as being the oatmeal. Tasty brown ale with plenty of interest.
