Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a large, frothy white head. Lacing is good. Aromas of brown sugar, molasses, and some toasted malts. Lively palate with a clean finish, creamy to start. Flavors of toasted malts, chocolate, and a bit of brown sugar.

Bottle. Figured I would rate this one while I am already incapacitated. Drank from the bottle. 3/5 on appearance. Whatever. Smell is somewhat nutty smelling, with plenty of malts. Very few hops. Some sugar smelling as well. Taste is smooch and rich. Plenty of sugars, all in all, not ever good. Somewhat memorable, but a disappointment from this brewery.

Not too bad. This has all the normal character’s of a brown ale but seems to be a smoother version of all that I have had. It almost seems like a lighter version of them. I’ll stick with Dogfish Head’s Indian Brown Ale or Woodstock’s Pigs Ear.

Bottle. Looks like cola. Pleasing deep roasted malt is not totally unlike cola either. Flavor though for me is just not there. Weak, watery, and indistinct. This beer was my first from Troegs and the reason it was longer than it should have been before my second. I like much/most of the rest of their beers.

12oz bottle. Dark brown color with a beige head. Nutty, roasty, and light chocolate aroma. Dry and robust flavor with toasted and chocolate malt flavors. Ends with a little hop bite. I was definitely suprised at how much body and flavor this had for being only 4.4%. Well balanced overall with nice roasty malt flavors.

12 oz bottle Pours a clear dark brown with a small receding off white head. Leaves spotty lacing behind. Nose is malts and nuts. Didn’t get any hop in the aroma as the commercial description implies. Palate is average for the style. A bit on the thin side with basic carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt with a hint of sweetness and some nuttiness. Just a hint of hops.

Bottle. Dark brown pour with a small tan head. Aroma is very robust wtih cuban coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, nuts and some fruit. Flavor has a great deal of nus and coffee wtih a nice background of chocolate. Man this is a damn nice brown!

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour peach aromas. Roasted nuts and sweet caramel upfront. Lasting sour chocolate finish.
