Into a pint glass, it leaves a brown colored body, two finger white foamy head quickly dies and leaves spider web lacing; the smell has malts, toffee, light nuttiness, light honey, the taste is malty and sweet, nutty aftertaste and a quick sweet almost dry finish; the palate was light to medium, very sessionable, gets creamy and smooth; overall, this is pretty good for an English Brown Ale, I recommend if you like the style

Aroma of caramel, soda, sweet bread. Nice foamy, nutty taste, hardy. Seems like something that would go well in a metal tankard while singing drinking songs.

Heavy butterscotch aroma. Clear ruby brown color. Nutty sweet taste with light bitterness. Reminds of frosted flakes somehow. Medium body, easy drinker. Retreats halfway back to amber ale status.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle in Stowe, VT. Clear rusty brown with small khaki head and good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, dark fruit, toffee and brown sugar. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, roasted malt, toffee and nuts. Medium body and medium carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Thin brown pour that’s see through. Tan head that disappears instantly. Aroma of light caramel and booze. Taste light malt, cola, and molasses. Super watery and thin on the palate. Drain pour.

A decent beer but not a stand out.

On tap at the brewery in 2010; poured an auburn tinted brown. Aroma of caramel and nuts mostly. Flavor was the same but a bit more sweetness to it. A solid version of a style I generally like.

Brown color with tan head. Malt aroma and some nuttiness. Sweet malty taste some vanilla and toffee nut notes.

Pours a dark clear reddish brown color with a huge bubbly tan head that slowly recedes before leaving some spotty lace on the way down. Smells of caramel and brown sugar with a hint of tart fruit, earth, roast and butter. The flavor is heavy on the caramel and butterscotch with an earthy hop bite that provides some balance. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a creamy bubbly mouthfeel. So far this is the only brew I’ve had where I feel the diacytyl actually adds something to the beer. This is probably my favorite beer from Woodstock, but its still just an average beer.

12 ounce bottle from Nikki’s Liquors, Providence. Pours a clear dark brown color with a large tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of faint nutty notes. That’s it. The taste is sweet caramel malts, stone fruits, faint nuts, floral hops. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.
