Notes from 4/20/11; 2011 release
A - Pours a murky brown with one finger of tan head.
S - Smell is mostly sweet caramel malts. Pleasant but pretty simple.
T - Taste is caramel malt up front, followed by a nice slightly bitter hop presence. Earthy roasted malts on the finish. Overall, the flavor comes together pretty well. Faint tea-like taste on the finish.
M - Medium mouthfeel with relatively low carbonation. Finish is a bit sticky.
O - Overall an enjoyable brew, but a bit too sweet.

Pours a nice quick copper head, matching the dark and slightly cloudy amber/red of the beer.
Smells like dry fruits, especially dates. A little yeast is detectable.
Oh, the mouthfeel. 'Quaff!' exclaims the Dark Horse mascot on the label. This is it- the beer froths up well in the mouth and remains refreshing.
That London Brown flavor- malty, refreshing, entirely subtle but appropriate hop leave. I prefer it to the ABC 'red cap' version (the 6 pack was split 3 and 3): although the ABC's flavors are more interesting, the start-to-finish balance of the Dark Horse makes it more enjoyable.
