BeerGestapo (728), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 5, 2008 (American) nice Brown color, with sm-Head, and a nutty taste. nice to drink with friends, not bad!!! TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 4, 2008 From the bottle pours very dark brown, clear with a nutty hop aroma. Off white head with creamy toasty texture on the pallet. Smooth and nutty malt flavor with a hint of chocolate and hops at the end. Troegs puts together some nice beer. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 3, 2008 Ah my first Troegs. I have waited a bit to get my hands on anything from this brewery, and now I have it. And I have it as I sit in Brooklyn. You can’t get Troegs in NY. But I have it...because I went all the way to Philly to get it. I nominate myself for beer freak of the year.
Pours a clear dark brown. Tan head that has some staying power. Nose is not very there. Seems mild and almost dirty. Very mild nut quality to it. Flavor is oh my goodness. Damn Gina! Such subtle qualities to it. It doesn’t yell and scream in your face but hits you with multiple layers of things to ponder. I even get a small amount of raisins here. Beyond that the nice earthy and woody stuff. Minor caramel mixed with almost a wood/bark flavor. Amazing levels of flavor here, but you really have to be ready to seek them out. Feel has a good carbonation and a nice level of liquid feel. Very drinkable. One of the best EBAs I have had in so long. More of a beer to ponder than just down. I like. bma4573 (136), Mechanicsville, Maryland, USA Feb 2, 2008 Dark brown pour from a bottle, with only a hint of a head, great malty nut aroma. A nice nutty taste. A decent beer, although I’ve had better brown ale’s. Zinister (1199), Houston, Texas, USA Jan 25, 2008 Thanks to grandet for this beer. Pours a dark root beer brown with an uneventful, but decent tan head. Lightly roasted malt flavor with a nutty and earthy flavor that reminds me of Houston’s early autumn. Some woodsy smokiness in the finish. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Jan 25, 2008 pours a dark clear brown with mild brown head. mild malt aroma. mild palate with a dry finish. nutty backgrounds with chalky malt dryness. slight mocha in aftertaste. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Jan 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. The aroma is nut and hop. The body is dark bronze. The taste is nut and malt. Not a bad beer, but I personally don’t prefer the style. PhillyHomeBrew (176), Forest Hills, New York, USA Jan 12, 2008 dark brown body with no head. Smells like a pretty typical nut brown as aroma. The flavor is very nutty with a definite flavor of raisins.
