Bottle. Pours a dark brown with small tan head. The aroma is roast and bready malt. Thin mouth and watery, light roast and cocoa, not much going on with this one.

Bottle. Light caraway, cherry/apple, and caramel malt aroma. Dark brown with small head. Moderately sweet cherry/apple, caramel malt and mildly bitter caraway and dry grass flavor. Decent body. Good but doesn’t really taste like a Reuben sandwich - which means I’ll need to find another beer to give to Patrickctenchi in order to get even with him for the New Planet brown ale.

12 oz bottle, thanks brenn79. Aroma is doughy, light perfume, age. Pours hazy golden with a one finger white head that falls after a minute, leaving a little lace. Taste is lightly sweet with a significant bitter backing. Tastes a little old. Not too good. It would probably taste okay fresh, I’m sure. I can’t find a date anywhere.

Pours orange with a smooth head. Aroma of citrusy fruits, lemon and grapefruit. Taste is smooth, zesty and citrusy with some lemon and grapefruit. Finish is smooth and sweetish with some juicy notes. Okay.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a small foamy beige head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was malty, bready and sweetish with basil and honey notes. The flavor was bitter and bitey with a strong basil presence. Very long basil finish. Medium body. Interesting but the basil gets overwhelming.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy murky orange with a small white head. Nose brings out earthy notes and astringent resinous hops - not good balance. Flavour is along the same lines, with vegetal herbal notes, some resin and bready malt. Pretty simple - nothing special but not offensive at least. Meh.
