3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 hillfiiiiire (323) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 18, 2008
Pours an almost opaque dark brown with a tan head that doesn’t last for very long, but leaves some lacing. It smells of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, sweet nuttiness, and a rather pleasant hint of vanilla. Coffee continues to come through in taste along with vanilla. Also some chocolate. There’s a little hops bitter in the finish. It has a medium body. It’s good, but it’s just lacking something to make it more. Not like I could tell you what that is though.

Pretty damn good for what it is, but it seems like these guys don’t know how to make a beer without a lot of hops.

Can. Pours a clear brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and some coffee grounds. Flavor of slightly roasted malt with a touch of creamy smoothness. Thankfully, this is a brown ale that’s not dominated by super sweet malt. Pleasant and easy drinking, certainly one of the best brown ale’s I’ve had.

Pint can into pint glass. An awesome brownish amber color that shines ruby red when held upto a light. Nice khaki head that exhibits some pretty quality retention as well. Aroma is simple but on point -- nutty and malty... reminds me very much of the fall. Medium bodied with very soft carbonation. Nice and smooth and easy-going. Overall: a very simple but very pleasant beer.

Pours a dark brown color with a tan head, good lacing. Nose of bread and yeast. Taste is similar to the smell, sweet, with a hint of spice. More character than other brown ales, but still fairly bland in my opinion.
