Commercial Description:
This dark brown ale is slightly sweet with a caramel and dark fruit finish. A show case of fine English malts, floor malted the old way. We use pale, chocolate, and crystal malts to produce a complex, but easy drinking dark ale. Very reminescent of northern English ales.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Dark brown color with ruby highlights and a decent tan head. Okay head retention. Aroma: Caramel, some nuttiness, roasted malt, and something I can’t quite place. A bit of fruitiness perhaps. Flavor: Sweet with notes of caramel, chocolate, and nuts. A bit thin. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium, sweet finish. Overall: Not the most inspiring brown ale, but not too bad either. Take it or leave it.

Bottled. A chest-nut colored beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, nuts, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, cocoa powder, and malt, leading to a dry cocoa finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle, Poured dark brown in color with a tan small foamy head which dissipated soon after the pour. It has a nutty sweet aroma with little carbonation. The overall mouth feel was smooth and quite fllavorful, the flavor lasted quite a bit after the swallow. Definetly a good brew, and just right for the Brown Ale catogory!!
