Feb 1, 2003 That's more like it! MUCH better than their Lager. What a nut brown should taste like! Great color, too.

Apr 9, 2006 Thick pour with a dark brown color, ¼” head. Well carbonated and full bodied. Smooth going down with an average ale flavor. I expected much more nut flavor to it. Great brew, I will defiantly buy this again.

Aug 1, 2001 What Newcastle would taste like...if it had taste. Light brown head, deep, dark, mahogany color with a deliciously enticing roasty, buttery aroma. Malted chocolate flavor with a perfect amount of hop bitterness in the finish. Quite smooth, reminding me somewhat of a cream stout. Terrific.

Mar 7, 2002 I really like this one - I drink it when I visit my parents’ house (they live a few blocks from the brewery in Harrisburg). Not quite up to Sammy Smith standards, though.

Feb 22, 2004 Caramel richly dark in color, solid and moderately opaque, thin dark ivory head, faded quickly with tiny lace spots slipping right back in. Smell is roasted sweet malts, tangy of dulled oranges with floral hop notes, nuts and honey. Taste is mildly roasted and tangy sweet malts, steadfast and quick on the buds with lingering nuts and hops into the finish. Solid tasting brown, good medium body with a bit of carbonation and ziz with flighty airyness in through the finish. Pretty solid brown, easy drinkin', mild and filling.
