Slightly sweet roasty malt aroma. Obviously it is brown. Flavor is mostly mild roasty sweet malt. Not too bitter. Rather average really. Nothing going on here. Easy to drink. Wouldnt fill you up. Meh.

Smell is a bad creaminess. Flavor is malty and funky, not liking the "biscuit". Too malty and chewy for me.

Pours very red brown, clear with moderate carbonation and a small diminishing head. Aroma is malty, doughy, very light sweetness. Taste comes off quite bitter for a brown, too hoppy for the style. Nuttiness pokes through eventually. Very light sweetness. Mild roastiness. Finish is still bitter. Not my bag.

Bottle, aroma is of very light malts, considering the style. Decent malts but not enough in my opinion. It was good but nothing memorable.

Bottle... Poured an unfiltered deep brown with a tan head. Roasted, sweet malt on the nose. Mildly carbonated making a nice smooth roasted malt flavor, which also has sugary sweet, tarty fruit, and a touch of hops. This one is nice, one of the better spring seasonals I have had so far.

This brown ale pours a dark brown color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is sweet malts, biscuit, chocolate and some fruit. Medium bodied brow ale. Malts are caramel and sweet, with some dark fruit and chocolate. Hops are floral and earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. It a touch over the top with the sweet biscuty malts, but not in ant real objectionable way. Very drinkable brown ale, decent session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet and slightly hoppy.

Bottle. Toffee and nutty chocolate aroma, gritty with grain and some resin. Sweetish. Pours a clear amber-red with a firm, bubbly tanned head. Nuts and toffee and faint chocolate, wee hint of roast. Slightly oily thinnish body. Acidic with some bubblegum sugar. Kind of a strange one, with somewhat ill-fitted tartness, but on the whole, smooth and relaxing. Thanks, Jake!

Light malty and nutty scent. Mahogany body. Medium palate. Nice even malt taste--no hops. Very easy to drink and excellent brown.
