Mar 22, 2009 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.

Mar 14, 2009 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.

Mar 12, 2009 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.

Mar 11, 2009 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.

Mar 1, 2009 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.

Feb 28, 2009 12oz bottle from mrchopin. Troegs is quickly becoming my favorite east coast brewery. Rugged trail pours a lightly hazed deep brown with a thin tan head. Tons of toasted malts and hazel nuts on the nose. Flavor was malty and toasty, a pretty damn good brown.
