UPDATED: MAY 29, 2019 12 oz can from Boise Co-op. Dark pour, but still clear. Small beige foamy head. Nutty, roasty aroma. Taste follows with more solid roast, light sweetness. Classic example of the style.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2019 An ok brown....thought it would be better based on the brewer. About average for the style. Balance leans towards the sweeter side....seems a bit off but bottle coulda been old. On the thinner side malt-wise...but just slightly. One of those 'been there done thats'

Pours a dark brown with some ruby red shining through when held up to light. The aroma is nutty, brown bread crust, caramel, and chocolate. The flavor is the same as the aroma.

12floz bottle, no date, $1.75, nonic glass. This beer appears alright: dark brown with clarity and a steady head. Smell isn't skunky, but I detect unwanted age, fungified cereal grains comes to mind. Although ipast it's time, it tastes okay. It is weaker than I remember when I had this about ten years ago (fresh and contract brewed by Southern Tier (I think that is who they contracted with)). Not at all bad as is, because it seems to get a little better with acclimation. In summary, it fairly sessionable and tastes like lightly sweetened dirt.

ADT. Medium brown pour with a persistent tan head. Roasted malt, cocoa, bread, mild grassiness. Light/medium bodied. Lingering, clean, roasted finish. Nice.

On tap in Barcade, NYC. Opaque very dark brown beer with an off white head. Nose is nutty, roasted malt, chocolate, toasted malt, brown sugar. Taste is toasted grains, chocolate, nutty, brown sugar., caramel. Body is medium, maybe just slightly on the watery side.

Bue à la pression. Couleur brun foncé. Mousse beige. Nez noisette, grillé, malté. Palais très malté, point caramélisée, on retrouve la noisette. Finale à peine sucrée.

It pours dark brown. It has plenty of nutty flavors with some roast and a moderate body.

Bottle. Dark brown color, some ruby highlights. Malty aroma, nutty, bready, maybe a bit of coffee. Low carbonation. Medium light body. Some malty flavor, nutty character. Toast on the finish. Low bitterness. Nice.

12 ounce bottle. Mahogany brown color topped by a small bubbly tan head that disapates quickly. Rich roasted malt aroma. Flavor has roasted maltiness with notes of nuts and burnt sugar. Slightly thin body. Light citrus hops in finish.
