VitaminR (252), Colorado, USA Apr 12, 2008 Sweet chocolate nose. Deep dark brown color, small head. Some stale raisin sweetness, overly bitter. Maybe a bit too carbonated, lingering finish that was not terribly pleasant. Brown Ales are not my favorite, even so, this is not a very good one. patrick767 (1396), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Apr 6, 2008 tap at the brewpub - Pours clear dark brown with a thin head. It really smells like honey. The taste is similar. There’s a lot of honey in this one along with the caramel malt flavors. It’s bubbly on the palate and very sweet. It’s not bad though maybe it could be balanced better. RSRIZZO (987), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Dec 1, 2007 Had this beer on 3/30/1999. Color is a deep brown with low carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is a nice sweet roasted malt scent. Taste is rich and sweet. It starts with a medium body that goes down heavy with a bit of bite. The finish is a sweet malt flavor with a rich alcohol taste to it and a light bitterness. troyc (938), A ’moist’ county, Texas, USA Oct 12, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of light caramel. Taste is pretty similar, with some toffee. Sweet, but thin bodied. Not particularly well balanced either, but I would drink it again. Lumpy (1530), Carrollton, Texas, USA Jun 3, 2007 Body-reddish body with a thin ring of bubbles and medium film of bubbles., Nose-cereal, malt extract. Taste-everything is muted and medium, lightly sour, murning, medium sweet, blah, thin.
