Bottle. Brown sugar and malt aroma. Brownish amber color with small head. Sour malt, walnut, and brown flavors. Nice mouthfeel - the slight sourness really works well with this balancing well with the sweetness. Nice drinkable brown ale.

Bottle from brewery. Sour malt and rubber aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Rubber the dominant flavor - very light malt. Don’t know if it’s due to their bottling or this was old - the rubber taste was just too much. / New rating. Lemon, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Medium yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet milky biscuit malt and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. A very nice light beer (and no more issues with bottling).

Tap at brewery. Lemon and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy light amber color with moderate head. Primarily lemon flavor with hint of grapefruit - minimal malt and no hops. Slight lemon peel bitterness to finish. Light refreshing beer - would be better with more malt flavor.

First rating from the 2006 brewing. On draght at the brewery. Pours a deep muddy copper color with an average sized off-white head. Spicy aroma with some sweet malt notes. The flavor of this one is excellent for what it is supposed to be. Smooth balanced pumpkin spice flavor with not too much sweetness. Very well done pumpkin ale, probably the best one I’ve ever tried. Of course if you aren’t into this sort of thing, you’ll want to pass on this one, but if you do, be sure to give it a try.

My thanks to Suttree for this one. This beer is dark, with only the lightest red hue. Little carbonation, but some brown foam lingering on top of the beer. It smells better than it tastes. There is some smoke, coffee and chocolate, and lots of roasted character. Flavor has some sweet potato and more roasted malt, with only a hint of coffee. A little bit sour in the finish.

Draught at brewpub. Deep copper color over a small, fleeting white head. Light caramel aroma. The flavor is well balanced maltiness with just the right amount of underlying hop bitterness. Clean and well brewed. Very drinkable, I’d like to see this one year-round.

Bottle courtesy of Brentfeesh: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma of roasted caramel malt with a hint of sourness, which was not too pleasant. Taste of sweet caramel malt with some subtle hops. I think this beer had a small infection since I could pick-up some sourness, which shouldn’t be in this beer.

Bottle courtesy of Brentfeesh: Poured a nice dark porter with a small foamy head with average retention. Aroma of smoke and peat in quite intense and surprising as I wasn’t expecting this. Taste is a mix between some subtle smoky malts with some sweet lightly roasted malt. Body is a bit light for the style. I almost wondered if I tasted the same beers as the other folk because I didn’t get any sourness.

Cloudy, dull tan. Head does not last. Musty, footy aroma. Slightly flat body. Massive taste of autolyzed yeast. That’s it. All else is gone. Please, if your session beer isn’t going to hold up for at least a couple of months, filter it. Or at least put a date on the bottles so people don’t get screwed.
