VitaminR (421), Colorado, USA Feb 9, 2008 Malty sweet nose, almost a hint of burnt chocolate...maybe some clove and tobacco? Reddish brown color, head disappeared quickly. Sweet, almost smoky. Seemed thin, almost had a flat cola feel. Not horrible, but would not buy again. Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Feb 4, 2008 Reddish brown color with small white head. Nose of nuts and biscuit with caramel. Sweet malts with caramel. Decent brown. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pours dark brown, but clear. Shows ruby when held to light. Nose is fairly mild. Sappy caramel character there, but just a wee bit. Isn’t really that strong. Flavor is very caramel sweet. Strong sugar tones. Leafy tone on the very end that is extremely subdued. Feel is a bit thick on the liquid. Decent level of carbonation. A bit too syrupy I would have to say. Overall though pretty good. Nothing fantabulous, but good enough to try. And for some good enough to go back to maybe. TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 23, 2008 Full bodied malt smell, great taste on the tongue-smooth and robust. Nice brown Ale with a mocha malty aftertaste. gonzo46and2 (108), Tampa, Florida, USA Jan 22, 2008 Reddish brown beer pours a lively off-white head. Nice floral aroma. Taste is light with hints of raisin and caramel but is pretty subdued. The watery texture helps to bring a clean finish. Not the worst but I’ll be looking elsewhere for my next brown ale. mrw1zard (54), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Jan 22, 2008 I was expecting a little more, maybe I got an old bottle? Good taste, very easy to drink. Will review again to compare. Dking620 (6), Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA does not count Jan 12, 2008 Wonderful aroma. Beautiful color. I loved the taste. Small hints of fruit in the after taste. I will buy more of this beer. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 22, 2008bottle. pours a rich dark brown with a hint of ruby. not much head, but the aroma is wonderful. smells of caramel and brown sugar. has a bit of an astringent quality to its mouthfeel which is odd for this style. taste is full and rich with hints of sweetened malts, caramel, and some yeast in the finish. highly recommended.
