Commercial Description:
CBC’s medal winning old town brown is a German-style brown ale. This beer has a clean well rounded dark malt character which creates a mild chocolate aroma and flavor. Colder fermentation temperatures and long cellaring time makes our brown a truly smooth all round brew.

Great creamy head. Nice lacing that coats the glass! Nice clear red/brown hue. Light malt nose. Malty taste with a creamy texture. Very drinkable.

Tad bit of the nutty aroma and indeed a nut-brown-like taste, but also with a strong sweet side. Strange combination, but decent.

Sampled draught at 4 Queens, Las Vegas
Dark brown color with caramel apple hues. Creamy off-white head with little lacing. Nose of smoke and toffee; peanut brittle and brown sugar, figs. Taste is moderately bitter & astringent but finishes smooth & buttery. Thick mouthfeel. Tobaccoish.

Nutty brown ale aroma is quite nice. Got some hops, not sweet. Pretty nice beer, one I could drink again.

i drank this out of a 1/2 gal. growler at 8:00 in the morning after 14 hours of night crew. so it had a metalic taste due to the tap and my brain may have been a little off due to lack of sleep, good beer though

Dark brown, burnt malts, scorched coffee and a little bread flavor. Very spicy for a brown... chocolate and coffee nose, a little maple underneath.
