On tap at the Lancaster location. Served clear dark brown with a thin beige head in a shaker glass. The first glass I had left nice sheets of lacing all down the glass marking every sip. The second glass I had left no lacing. The smell was very hoppy, lots of citrus, some floral, and a bit of toastiness. The roasted grains really came forward in the flavor giving some dark toast and cocoa character while the hops balanced it perfectly with fresh grapefruit, grass, and floral. Bitterness is present but not to IPA levels. An amazingly balanced beer and easily my favorite beer I have ever had from Iron Hill.

Overall excellent brown. Aroma has some sweetness, caramel, nuts, some faint hops. Flavor is nice and balanced and clean. Sweet nuttiness, hint of toffee and chocolate and fain hops for balance. Nice.

Draft at Maple Shade. Pours a chestnut brown with a large fluffy off white head. Aroma is chocolate, brown bread, very light coffee and orange. Flavor is really nice with lots of roastiness, chocolate, brown toast and a hint of coffee beans. Medium bodied with strong carbonation. One of if not the best brown I have ever had.

Consumed while enjoying (as a non-participant) the Iron Hill Twilight Criterium cycling race / party. Pour was full brown color, ok head and lacing. The aroma was chocolate, roast, some floral hop notes. The flavor followed, rich chocolate base, light roast, caramel, floral an firm bittering hops. They definitely played the hops strong in this sucker - probably the only way to make this style interesting. Mouthfeel was moderately bodied, fairly dry and clean.
