Commercial Description:
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

Bottle. Rich roasted nutty brown malt aroma. Maybe with hints of coffee and chocolate. Suggestive of a porter, somewhat. Deep brown color with a white ring for head. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor definitely has chocolate, dark roasted nutty malt, and an underlying slight bit of sour. Finish is rather dry, and has a bit of hop. Seems like a mix of a coarse American brown ale and a smooth porter. Very nice drink.

On draft at Hamilton’s Tavern, rich coffee type hue with thin brown head. Light roasted malts lead to a sweeping warm hop, very deep roasting/chewy nut layer. Mild abv. with a sweet quick finish. A perfect accopanyment to my bar nuts and leftover enchilada flavored cheetos~

12oz Bottle from Bev Mo, poured a dark brown with a nice creamy head. Very nice aroma! Toasty, sweet, and light hops. Medium body with rich, sweet roasted flavor and easy finish. This is a very good beer thats getting better as it warms

Bottle: Pours a rich brown with ruby tones and a huge beige head. Nose is hoppy with hints of roasted malt. Flavor is dark and malty, a bit of burnt malt. Some florals and tangy bitterness that I can’t put my finger on. A little earthy. Thin in the body, but refreshing.

12 oz bottle. This is a decent brown ale. I don’t really like brown ales normally. Nice nutty aromas and flavors. Flavors move into caramel and chocolate all with a very nice toasty character. Pretty good

Mohagony brown color; small head of various size bubbles. Aroma of wood, dark malts, old sneakers. Flavor has some nice malts but there’s some sour funkiness, I’m guessing an undesired attribute. I’ve had this a few times and it’s not as good as the Old Monkeyshine, and neither are the rest of their distributed bottle line.

Dark brown with a velvetty tan head. Aroma is roasty and bitter. Flavor is mostly roasty, chocolate, and herbal hops that dont seem to fit well with the style. Not my favorite Brown.
