From Bottle

Poured dark brown with little off white color head. the Beer tasted light, not thick like i’m used too. Aroma I detected was of a toasted nut. Flavors when cold were nutty almost like a toasted walnut. As it warmed I got nutty chocolate flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it’s smoothness. It was very easy to drink. I’ll be getting more

Bottle, bottled 5/13/08. Aroma of roasted malt with coffee, fresh, fertile earth (very unique stuff), peanut butter. Flavor has a nice sweetness typical of brown ales, but richer and with more prominent hints of bitterness, rather porter-like to me. Unique brew, tasty brew, good brew.

Bottle, bottled 5/13/08. Pours a dark brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of nice sweet malts, molasses, roasted malts, coffee, maple syrup, and sweat? Flavor of sweet roasted malt. Palate is a little weak. Similar to a porter or even a stout actually. I’m normally not a fan of brown ales but this one was pretty good. Troegs is awesome...

The pour was a dark brown with ruby highlights that was crystal clear. The head was white to off-white and produced decent lacing. The aroma was roasted malt and light dry chocolate with some lighter sweetness to it. The flavor was dominated by roasted malt. Light dry chocolate and caramel sweetness. Fairly dry, thin mouthfeel. Easy drinking. Nice.

This is a really good freakin beer. Its a nut brown but it has such a unique flavor to it. They advertise a small hint of chocolate and they are spot on, it really adds to this beer.
