From tap at the brewery. Pours clear and golden amber with a liht tan head. Aroma is mild fruity and slight malty. Light citric and malty flavour yet with a nice fruity note. Smooth and fresh into the finish. Fruity lingering finish. Nice one.

Dark brown with a rich head. Nutty sweet nose with a hint of chocolate. Sweet flavour, good body for style. Pleasing nuttiness but quite sweet at the back. A rich, decadent example.

(draft) Deep brown body with medium beige head. Aroma is sweet, nutty, caramel, some chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, nutty, chocolate, light caramel, finishing nutty. Light-medium body. Very flavorful beer.

Clear dark amber with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and hints of hops. Flavour likewise with a hoppy finish.

Clear and headless, but hand-bottled ale of a dark reddish-copper colour. Nutty, chocolatey, dry and lightly astringent, fully grainy brown ale. Fruity, grapey nuances enhance the malt’s complexity while the leafy and firm bitterness ensure balance and drinkability. Strong mineral profile. Earthy finish. A tasty brown ale indeed.
