Commercial Description:
Painstaking effort by our brewer in the selection of 6 different malts and 4 varieties of hops result in this burnished brown ale. Roasted barley and chocolate malt give this beer a rich balance of flavors, while added wheat provides a lively, long-lasting head. Like its namesake, this bridge is worth waiting for!

Sampler at brewpub pours brown, off white head. Aroma is malty some roast and light chocolate. Taste, light caramel malts, with nutty palate and some chocolate. Light in body but with some nice roastiness. Easy to drink and taste.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de caramel avec une pointe de noix. Apparence: La couleur est brune. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de caramel avec une pointe d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de caramel en arrière goût. (Rating #2269)

Rich dark brown with thick, rocky tan head. Fresh aroma is nutty, smooth, and dry. Thin finish but it was served too cold and needed to warm to bring out the body. Medium to high carbonation. Nice nuttiness persists throughout and finishes dry.

Medium brown with a thin head. Nutty, slightly caramelly aroma. Caramel flavour with a slight bitterness. Dries out a bit in the finish. Decent body and balance.

Brown pour, off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor was surprisingly good...caramel, nuts, brown sugar, syrup, and an odd but good yogurty quality. I don’t like many brown ales, but this one was pretty tasty.

Sampled at brewpub. Pour was a nice solid brown. Aroma was very much nuts and sweet malts. Flavor was roasted nuts, caramel and brown sugar. This was my favorite of their brews and was very easily drinkable. I have a hard time finding a brown ale I like. This one was it.
