12 oz. bottle, 2006 Edition, let's see how it holds up after 2 years, only $1.59 at Walnut Liquorette, in Walnut, CA,
A: Pours a dark brown, with a boatload of head which shocked me, with great retention, leaving lots of sticky-type lacing.
S: Smells sweet, with toffee candy, caramel, and brown sugar/molasses.
T: Caramel malt runs the gambit starting out dry and toasty, finishing with a brown sugar sweetness, with clearly evident piney hops, very good and tasty brown ale, even after 2 years of aging.
M: Light on the palate, needs more heft, a bit of oxidation there.
D: A good beer, it held up, try it again if it's in your area.

Brown pour, lighter brown head, 1/2". Aroma had some brown malt, but not much else going for it.
Above average hops, but not blowing out the style guidelines either. Tea, toffee, caramel, nuts. Smooth.
Good beer, but you know how this brown ale style goes. . .

Very light, and a distinct hop flavor, albeit mild, balances the malt and provides a crisp finish.
