12oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown to black with two finger tan head that settles slowly. Lacing on the glass. Aroma is hops, malt, barley, raisins, sweet ripe fruit, yeast. Flavor is sweet malt, yeast, coffee, chocolate, caramel. Medium-bodied. More resembles a porter than a brown ale.

12 oz. bottle. Poured a dark brown with a very minimal ring of a head. The aroma was nuts and dark malts. The flavor included hints of molasses, nuts, honey, and a faint trace of hops. It was thinner than the abv and appearance might suggest on the palate. Overall: this beer is good but not super interesting IMO. Solid though.

exactly what it says it is, tastes like a mix between an IPA and a Brown Ale, a brown sugary undertone, but not overwhelming at all, the most balanced beer i’ve ever had

Bottle and on draft. What can i say this is something i would introduce to any new craft beer drinker. you get 7+%, a great malty chocolate caramel flavor thats easy to drink and even less intense served cold. A great mesh and probably a top 3 brown ale IMO. love it. One of the most sessionable craft beers that i’ve had in almost 2000k beers great stuff.

bottle, a sweet dark malt aroma with slight fruitiness, pours a dark brown with a two finger tan head. great sweet malt taste with carmel, toffee, and hints of coffee and chocolate. slight cidery malt finish beautifully masked by earthy hops.

Bottle: Courtesy of A. Haliday. Another Dogfish 6’er day. I really liked this brew. Maybe the best session beer dogfish makes in terms of alcohol, flavor, and price. Best of class in the browns for sure.

I am sure this is the brown ale I have been looking for all along. This is the best of its style that I have had. Nice dark reddish/brown pur with a tan head. Aroma is dried fruit, malty and roasty. Taste is a mix of sweet dried fruit, complex malt and a nice backbone of hops. Well balanced and really delicious. Bingo!
