Bottle poured a clear amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of cocoa, carmel and toasted malt. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth and a touch watery. Flavors of cocoa, carmel and a hint of nuttiness with a smooth watery finish.

Pour: 12 oz bottle to pint glass. Clear mahogany with nice red accents. Rocky beige head, no lacing. Nose: Cocoa powder, toasted bread, caramel. Rather sweet aroma. Mouth: Semisweet chocolate, toast, chicory, a little roast. Some piney hops impart a modest but noticeable bitterness in the finish. Light in body, and a bit light in flavor too. Definitely needs a bigger malt profile to keep from being watery.

A little bit too watery for both a brown and a deschutes brew, but it does have a really nice pour with a big ol’ head that dissipates slowly. Very biscuity, kind of bland.

on tap at papago... clear woody brown pour with a pillowy light beige head and some horizontal lacing. distinct aroma of baking powder/biscuits with notes of wood, caramel and toasted walnuts. the flavor has an acidity/astringency similar to baking powder as well... combined malt/grain but little to no residual sweetness and a dry slightly spicy finish. there’s a bitterness and coffee-like quality in the aftertaste. light to medium body. meh.

Pours a light brown with an off-white head. Caramel, roasted malt, biscuits, hops, and a bit of toasted nuts and chocolate. Not an amazing brown, but not bad and easy to drink.
