Dec 13, 2006 Nice malty beer. Pours brown with medium head. Sweet and malty flavor. Sublte cocoa and nuts. Light body and really drinkable.

Nov 28, 2006 On tap @ FFF: Dark brown color with a nice tan head. Chocolate aromas a little roast although they aren’t too strong. Chocolate and roast domintate the flavor as well, definitely baker’s chocolate that dry almost chalky chocolate with a nuttyness and a chocolate roast bitter finish. Pretty tasty for a brown, although i wish it had a little bigger body.

Nov 26, 2006 Tap at brewpub: Hazy brown with a small frothy head and very good lace. Wow, a surprisingly hoppy nose backed by caramel, walnut, apple, juicy fruit, and grapefruit vapors. The flavor is fruity and chewy with a lot of malt background brfore a heavy (for a brown ale) bite. Finishes with a hint of mocha and nut. The mouth feel is resiny and dry with some snap on the finish. I liked it, not normal for sure.

Nov 10, 2006 No boring brown ale here! This one has a deep rich brown pour with medium tan head that lingers throughout. Very roasty flavors pervade...mostly chocolate and nuts, oh yeah...and a ton of PNW hop bitterness. Citrusy hop zest was a big surprise in whay usually is a very bland style. Quite well hidden ABV...I would have guessed more in the 5.5% range. Very nicely done.
