Commercial Description:
This brown ale has a deep brown tone and an exceptionally creamy head which is derived from imported crystal malts. The crystal malts are also responsible for a rich, nutty flavor. Mild hop presence from imported Fuggles and Brewers Gold balance the unique malt combination

Brown with a tad ruby in color, small white head. Slight caramel candy nutmeg in aroma. More carbonated in the mouth with a yeasty bread like taste leaving you with a malt flavor and a sweet finish

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body ringed by a thin circle of white bubbles. Smell: Mild aroma nutty malts with some hints of wood. Taste: Sweetish maltiness with tastes of nuts and toffee. Leafy hop character. Very mild, balancing hop bitterness. Drying finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A nice, light session brown that goes down super easy.

bottle from ketchepillar. Thanks.
Pours a mostly clear, medium maroonish brown with a moderate lasting offwhite head. Smell is as expected and malty and almost nutty. Flavor is malty and nutty similar to the nose and has a noticeable light hop character on the backend. Nothing fancy, but drinkable and a decent brown ale, all around.

Pours a brown color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, nutty, toast, brown sugar, and some herbal hops. Flavor is malty, nutty, toasty, and a bitter herbal finish.

A nice color. Good balance of malts and bitters. Very easy to drink. Starts crisp and ends smooth with a nutty after taste. One of their better beers.

A pleasant beer. A generous mix of chocolate, malt flavors, and the nuttiness that many browns claim to have, but so few actually show. Clean finish and mild aftertaste mean it does not linger on the palate. Very considerate of it, being that I went on to have other beers that night.
