Commercial Description:
A classic English Brown Ale, smooth with a full body. The grist bill contains a bit of chocolate malt giving this beer a slightly sweet character and is properly balanced with the right amount of Challenger and Fuggle hops.

Location: On tap at the Pratt Street Ale House, 9/6/09

Aroma: Caramel malts mostly, some nuttiness
Appearance: Brown color, dark beige head
Flavor: Similar to the nose, malty up-front, and a bit of hops in the finish 6/7
Palate: Medium-body 3/4
Overall Impression: Found this to be a decent brown, the hops in the finish improved the flavor and added some balance to the all malt nose. A decent beer.

Dark walnut brown with a red tinge. Light, pruney aroma. Perhaps the slight smoke aroma is coming from the beer, perhaps the cigarettes of the patrons. Smooth, moderate fruit, light cocoa, nice acid/chalk balance. Not sweet. Finishes off with a coffeeish bitterness. Medium light body without going watery. Quitey good, very true to style. Licorice notes.

A mahagony colored beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of muscat nuts, fruits, and other nuts. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of toffee, but also light notes of citrus and fresh hops. It prickles the tongue lightly.

Draught @ The Wharf Rat in Baltimore Brown color, nice head and lacing. Nose of light dark malts, caramel, nuts, no hops. The flavor is smooth, creamy and a bit of toast. Fairly boring and rich though.
