Poured from a bottle it is a dark brown with a slight head. The aroma is malty and has a hint of pecans. The taste is of a strong root beer and it resonates on the palate. Mighty tadty

Deep brown coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall tan head, rather soapy as well. Aroma of nuts, pecans, earth, malt, caramel and some walnuts in the mix as well - very nice and strong. Light-bodied; Strong nutty flavours of pecans, peanuts and light malt with a rather sweet and almost sour note showing some very subdued earthiness and a hint of grape flavour as well. Aftertaste is very much on the lighter side with the fruits coming out more than an earthiness and a little light sweetness coupled with some dry, oaky flavours is noticeable - interesting. Overall, a very odd brown ale that is very much on the light side of the spectrum with a lot of nuts and malt in the nose but almost nothing noticeable in the taste and finish - very light and airy throughout with not at all a cloying flavour. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop (12th Street) in Arlington, Virginia on 22-July-2014 for US$2,09 sampled a block away in Washington on 16-September-2014.

Growler from the Brookhaven Beer Growler. Nice, clear brown with a thin, tan head. Walnuts, black bread, mild chocolate, and some rye. Malty sweetness, with a good bitterness. Medium body, chalky, and sticky. Overall, this is a nice brown ale, with a good toasted aroma, with a mild flavor.

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Reddish-brown color with a medium tan head and spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and nuts. Light to medium body with a sweet roasty character and notes of bready malt, caramel and mild hops. The finish is sweet and malty. Decent overall.

Pours clear dark brown with an off-white head. Sweet nutty malt aroma. The flavor is mildly sweet, nutty. A little thin but better than many.
