On tap at the brewery.

Radient dark brown with no head. Toffee malt and a hint of smoke on the aroma; moderately rich sweet malts with smoked almonds for the flavor. The beer is close to entirely flat, albeit with a reasonably full mouthfeel.

I had high hopes for this one based on a few comments from friends; I was let down a bit. It’s drinkable, but not really a standout in any sense.

Draught Chestnut, very clear; small disappearing head. Bit malty & bit peppery, but very discreet nose (note: very bad circumstances for smelling). Caramelly, sweet but not overly so, little bit roasted, finish is more hoppy. Balance is OK, attenuation too. Just not very great. Smooth & creamy & nitrokeggy... Good body without more. Best I had from Hale’s but again, freezing cold, and the brewpub has a concentrated food smell of garlic and pepperoni...
