Nov 25, 2007 Pours dark like coffee, small head. Hints of chocolate and coffee flavor. Very light texture and light flavor. Not heavy at all and quite refreshing.

Nov 18, 2007 Poured a thick dark brown with a chocolate/coffee aroma. The taste definately had hints of coffee but wasn’t overly strong. This was a very smooth beer that went down easy.

Nov 15, 2007 Nutty but yeasty aroma. Clear and thin looking reddish brown, absolutely no head. Deliciously woody flavor of bark, walnuts, and smoke. Relatively clean finish by comparison, but with a very faint hint of roasted nuts. Sparing use of quality hops becomes more pronounced during warming.

Nov 11, 2007 This brown ale had a refreshing and light coffee- malt taste that lingered for a while. I was thinking this would have been good with ham and swiss on rye.

Nov 7, 2007 Brought this back home in a Growler from the brewery. Mostly maltly with nut tones, yet a strong hop finish on top. Not so much chocolate or creaminess... thin bodied. Worth going over once.

Nov 3, 2007 12 Oz Bottle. Nibbling British cookie and Moroccan sugar aroma. Soft and quiet. Pours a middle brown with creamy off-white head. Flavor is dominating by singular caramelization. Too much of some specialty malt. Edges into charred bitterness. There’s a whirl of nuttiness playing with some earthy, herbal hops, but the glowing toasted quality outshines and makes it tough to drink this too much. Mineral tones from yeast and alcohol soften the beer a little, but it doesn’t gain a lot of ground. Crawls out the door on a light biscuit suite. Yeah, it’s a brown ale.

Oct 29, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Clear, dark brown pour with a healthy light tan head and nice lace in a tulip glass. Caramel, roasted nuts, and a bit of spiciness in the aroma. Smooth, lightly carbonated, and a medium body. The malty sweetness is tempered by a softly bitter hoppiness, although I wouldn’t call the finish dry. Still, this is an easy drinking, flavorful beer. Seems like it’s becoming harder to find good, basic, simple session beers. This fits the bill.
