22 oz bottle, via kyzr. Pours a clear dark brown body under a smallish fizzy beige head that fell to a patchy partial covering. Aroma is of nutty and husky grains, some minimal hoppiness, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor is as thin as the usual Brown Ale. Just a dry nuttiness with a distinct crystal malt graininess. Finishing rather short and slightly sweet. Mouthfeel is light bodied, kinda thin, with moderate fizzy carbonation. Another nondescript Brown Ale.

Bottle thanks to Kyzr poured a clear brown color with nice tan head. Aroma was mild chocolate and roast with a fruity yeast note. Taste was clean with a good balace of bitterness and malts. Easy drinking with everything a Brown Ale should have.

Bottled. Pours a very dark brownish color, that when held to the light shows traces of dark ruby. No head. Sweet roasted malty aroma. Some sweetness and chocolate. Full mouthfeel. Thich rich roasted maltiness and chocolate. Some lingering bitterness. Some sourness ate the finish.

Mahogany with a foamy head and good lacing. Nutty aromas of roast and chocolate with tones of bitterness. Tastes more hoppy than malty, really. Finishes with a cloying maltiness.

(22oz bottle) Pillowy off-white head atop a crystal clear dark red-brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, nut, light chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, chocolate, nut, some caramel, light salt. Watery light-medium body, easy drinking.

Draught at the brewpub: Dark amber, light head and lacing. Nose of light chalky malts. The flavor is rich and chewy but lacks the oomph that make any brown ale stand out. Not bad, not great.
