Golden-red colour. Thin head. Fairly rich nutty nose - wood, leaf, tobacco and light nuttiness. Toasty character. Quite dry. Mainly nutty with a dried leaf character. Fairly full body for the style.

Growler: Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a small, stringy-lacing light tan head. Has a toasty nutty and light caramel malty nose with a touch of English hops. Starts with good body and light sweetness well balanced with drier toasty nutty flavor and a touch of milk chocolate. A true to style and enjoyable brown ale.

Draft (Rating #4900)... Pre-C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Murky, dark, rust-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. Nutty, yeasty, chocolaty nose. Full-bodied and ultra velvety with ticklish carbonation. Full-flavored; chocolaty, nutty. Well-balanced – sweet, but carefully bittered. Crisp finish.

@Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-growler–pours a light tan head and hazy amber color. Aroma is dark malt-peat/roasty, earthy hops. Taste is dark malt-peat/earthy/coffee, earthy/leathery hops. Interesting. Thanks notalush for sharing.

My Bottom Line:
Almond skins and bready cereals stroll into a leafy, wooden bitter hop finish in this healthy and drinkable Brown Ale.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the reddish brown.
-Cereals also offer mild caramel notes. This must pair wonderfully with juicy steaks.
-The body is well structured yet may lack wealth (for my tastes in the style).
-Light roast is found within.
-The finish was drier than I expected, which increased drinkability.

Bottle.
