Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

From an old rating note taken a couple years ago with the in-laws up in Michigan: 12oz bottle. Dark brown pour with a finger tan head. Caramel and chocolate roasted malt aroma. Tastes are the same with a nutty vibe. Liked this ok for a style that isnt my fav.
Bottle at lbaren. Hazy orange brown coloured with a small off white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and nougat. Sweet flavour of caramel, nuts and hops. Hoppy finish.
Deep brown, beige head. Nutty, malty aroma with prominent hops; fairly dry. Not dissimilar from their winter mild, but a bit stronger with a faint musky aroma. Good brown ale.
