Deep dark brown coloured body, but perfectly clear, all with a rich four to five centimetre tall light brown head that stays afloat for a long time, all with a nice light ruby glow at the bottom. Aroma of crisp nutty and rich rustic, earthy, cardboardie malts dominate here, with a deep vanilla, creamy and especially peanutty smell here that is strong for a long while. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich earthy, nutty and caramel flavours dominate here with a strong bitterness and pungency that brings out some toffee and toast qualities, but a long rustic bite more noticeable than anything else. Aftertaste is deep, quite pungent and potent with the deep, bitter grain, nutty and especially caramely malts showing strongest with some softer vanilla and creamy aspects, but the rustic, earthy and especially bitter flavours remain deep. Overall, a deep, strong, bitter and especially nutty and rustic beer that is full of flavour, pungency and robust grainy malt notes. Nice to sample and a decent choice from the twelve pack sampler! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 23-December-2023 for US$9,99/twelve pack, with a 'best by' date of 31-January-2024! and sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-February-2023.

Can from 12 Beers of Christmas 12-pack. Well, this could be as much caramel as I've ever had adjuncted to a beer. Deep brown color, though a bit translucent. Thick foamy tan head that settles down after a few minutes. There is only a slight thread of caramel in the nose however. Being a sugar, most of it probably got fermented out. A little more caramel in the taste, though with a strange chemical edge that I can't quite place. Perhaps the leavings of butter or cream if that's what was in the caramel that went into this.

12oz can. Poured a medium-dark brown color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was sweet malts, roast. Wish it had a little bit more nutty note to it and less sweetness.

22oz. Bottle, split 3 ways, purchased at 7-11 Kittery ME. Dark amber color with thin white head. Aroma is molasses, toasted nuts and caramel to boot!
The flavor is spot on what you would expect to find from the name of the beer. Caramel candy, toffee, roasted nuts with a ridiculous amount of sweetness. Some sort of hop or bittering unit would help this greatly. Slick sticky syrupy texture in a medium body. It is what is advertised but really a one trick pony.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Aroma is light brown sugar. Med body or nearly. Flavor seemed to start burnt sugar, then seemed to go towards cola. Might be a touch phenolic. Somewhat bitter. Finishing dryer than expected. Different.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/10/2014. Pours hazy deep reddish brown color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate, light roast, light nuttiness, raisin, prune, herbal, and toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate, light nuttiness, light roast, raisin, prune, herbal, and toast/roasted earthiness. Light earthy hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate/roast/nuttiness, raisin, prune, herbal, and toast/roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a smooth and fairly slick/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice brown ale. Good balance and robustness of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A bit one dimensional, but nicely enjoyable.
