Sampled on draught: Poured a sort of muddy orange colour. Light in the mouthfeel, little carbonation. Some soft cinnamon notes with a sweet malty finish. Thin all the way through with a lopsided watered down finish. This won a medal?

Tap at the brewpub. Brown pour of course. Toasty and a bit nutty. Very smooth with a slight bitterness in the finish, not bad.

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-brown color. Sweet sorghum-like aroma. Rather thin on the palate, but still has a pleasant nutty brown taste. Definitely a little watery and potentially adjunct-ridden.

nice head, color is a filthy tan. little sweetness besides slightly cloying caramel, just like the porter. body is far too thin for the style, making this difficult to be enjoyed. like their other beers, any character seems to be somehow artificial.

Bottle poured to glass. A great brown ale with aroma of roasted malts and molasses. Average head, off white in color atop a brown brew. Medium mouthfeel but a very full tasting brew.

Appearance: Pours a thin-looking brown body with a wispy, off-white head. Smell: Sourish, nutty aroma with a small hint of chocolate. Taste: Weak flavors of toasted nuts that grows more and more watery until the twangy, sourish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Lacks flavor, body, and depth. A very poor brown ale.

Pours a transparent copper mahogany with a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of toasted caramely malt with some nutty character. Body starts thin and lacking the malty sweetness for the style, but finishes drier and toasty. An ok brown ale, just needs a little more malt and body.
