Jul 18, 2009 Hey, another under-rated brown ale - perhaps it is because this one is so light and low in alcohol? - anyway, this is a lovely, sessionable, dry brown ale, with just a hint of molasses and toffee sweetness - outside of this, there is a complex mixture of hazelnut, roasty character, cocoa - a bit of leafy bitterness on the back end - dry, nutty finish - this is a very well-executed brown ale.

Jul 17, 2009 from bottle: nutty aroma with hints or roasty is to style, as is color, body and carbonation. Dynamic flavor leads with brazil nut and finishes with tootsie roll.

Jul 3, 2009 Brown ales just aren’t my thing. I found this to be watery and fairly ordinary. Strange metal flavor is distracting too. Not my favorite beer.

Jul 3, 2009 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a dark brown to just short of black with a just off-white head that disappears within 90 seconds. The initial nose of a small amount of caramel gives way to earthy hops. The carbonation level is just about perfect for the style. Hops come across the palate first, followed by chocolate malt (maybe pale chocolate?) and either special roast or maybe Victory malt. In any case, the English character malts fill the flavor out and add enjoyable, if slightly too restrained caramel, dark chocolate, and molasses flavors. Overall, a very subtle, very English, and pretty decent brown ale.

Jun 30, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009On tap at RnH (NYC). Pours like coke, tastes like watered down chocolate with some hazelnuts thrown in the mix. Standard for a brown ale. Nothing to boost about. Easy to drink but also easy to forget. #038 on 30062009, DG.

Jun 25, 2009 Faint aroma of chocolate. Taste is chocolate, nuts, and carmel with a slight hoppy finish. Thin, watery mouth feel. Smooth, easy drinking beer, but nothing spectacular.
