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.

Very dark pour with a small beige head. Very nutty caramel flavor to this one. Medium body that leaves a sweet flavor in the mouth. A nice brown ale.

Near black pour with a thin off white head. Nutty caramel aroma. Flavor is more nuts, heavy caramel, figs, and honey. Sweet finish, decent carbonation.

Good character for a brown ale. Hoppy aroma with a roasted malty backbone. Deep, full flavored taste with some sweet notes.

Poured a dark brown cola color with some orange/red highlights at the edges of the glass. There was a 1" tan head that disappated about 1/2 way through the glass. There was nice lacing while the head remand. There was a mild nutty aroma and some sweetness. There was a good nutty flavor and a slightly dry finish. Hints of chocolate were detected in the aroma and flavor as I was drinking through the glass. At only 4.4% ABV this is a good beer to have over & over. From a variety pack

Pours like a classic brown ale with a foamy crest. Aroma is first rate - malty, rich, and sweet. The label has the footprint of a hiking shoe on it, but is nothing special otherwise. The taste is packed with malty sweetness, coffee, cola, and a hint of citrus too. Medium body and fairly light carbonation. A little sweet and under-hopped for my sensors, but a solid brew overall.

Dark brown with minimal white head. Aroma is burnt caramel. Taste is the same, but crisp, watery, and somewhat worty. Not bad, but not good.
