A nice and hoppy brown ale. I associate this type of beer with being very malty, but this stands out. Pour was a light brown with a white puffy head. Aroma of nuts and hops. Taste was (of all things) coffee and hops! A natural pairing! Nice wet finish with a toasted aftertaste.

Clear very dark ruby body with a small quickly diminishing light tan head. Nutty aroma with some coffee and smoked malt hints. Nutty and lightly smoked flavor with a gentle coffee bitter ending.

12oz bottle. Dulled ruby brown hue. Nice light tan head. Sweet bready malts. Touch of cocoa in the nose. Little musty. Medium bodied with a bitter citrus flavor. Cocoa and chocolate flavors. Bready and citrus. Touch of lively effervescence. Toasty with a sticky finish. Slightly nutty. Off-dry. Malt driven. Rather nice.

The pour is a dark brown with a nice red hue. The head was light brown and foamy, it faded fast. The aroma is sweet caramel/toffee overtones. Flavor is nice and heavily roasted malts. There is some sweet toffee flavors. The biggest knock on this beer, it is on the light side of medium bodied, and highly carbonated. But a fairly good brown.

Pours a dark amber, with a diminishing light creamy brown, dominating sweet and syrup, creamy in texture, toasted: malt blend well with chocolate finish. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle. Poured a deep darm brown almost black with a tiny head. Aroma was of toasted malts with a hint of toffee. Flavor picked up where the aroma left out with malts dominating and a hint of sweetness.

Dark brown amber color. Malty taste with light hints of chocolate. Slightly thin but its a brown not a stout. Good beer.
