Pete’s wicked, bout time I tried some of this. 12 0z brown bottle. Pop the lid to smell some beery yeastyness. Perhaps hints of roasty strong ale. Very decent light rootbeer or dark cream soda appearance. There is a nice thin froth and a foam ring around the inside of the glass but no head. Constant bubbles rising but not streaming from within the brew. The first taste is mild malt bitterness, ale expected. This fades quickly to a note of surprising sourness, barely. Pretty nice average carbonation as the brew rolls down the back of yer throat. Throughout the malt keeps its mild bitterness. This has some personality, definitely more than your typical pale yellow american beer. Label says this beer is tantalizing and out of the ordinary, I have to agree with that. Finish seems like it wants to be a strong ale but it ends up being between the smoothness of a pale yellow lager and the bite of a pale ale. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it is not too offensive. I think this is just a tad more enjoyable in flavor than JJ wainwrights evil eye. Better than dogfishead indian and saranac brown but not quite as good as troegs nut and wild goose nut.

Pours a nice brown color with little head that diminished relativly fast. Aroma is caramel and sweet with malt and some hops. Flavor is sweet with light hops and some fruit. Nothing complex here, just a decent, readily available brown ale

(Bottle 35,5 cl) With a name like that you keep your expectations high. Of a wickedly strong and ful-flavoured beer. And the name has been notorious amongst beer-enthusiasts for ages. Well, I guess it’s mainly due to the fact, that this was one of the first successful US microbrews. Regarded by it’s effort as a beer this is rather peaceful. Dark brown, perhaps slightly copperish, neat and decent head. Soft and lightly sweet nut-character without much bitterness. A very pleasant beer outdoors on a warm night in Greenwich Village.

This is a decent beer. appearance: nice brown with a small tan head smell: nice, not great taste: ditto. I've had better, but I've had worse... much worse. Mouthfeel: very average, nothing special It's a drinkable beer, but with better choices out there, why drink it?
