Commercial Description:
Our Thursday nights are spent listening to Chester Brown, only fair to name our brown ale after the boys. Like the band, smooth in nature, well balanced, and great intermingling.

This poured a clear brown with a slender tan head that didn’t hang around too long. It had an aroma of dark caramel, roasted nuts, coffee, and dark bread. Nice roasty flavor sweetened with caramel and chocolate with a a nutty/earthy bitterness to balance it all out. Good sessionable stuff.

Draft sample at brewery. Clear brown color with a large creamy off-white head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate toasted malty nutty aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium toasted sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.

On tap at the brewpub. Ruddy, rusty brown body with some orange at the edges. There is a khaki head on top. The aroma is carmel with some nice fresh bread. The body in the mouthfeel was medium with low carbonation. The taste was pleasant coffee with some dark chococlate notes.

Pleasant enogh entry into a more or less bland beer style. Thin brown pour smelling of roasted caramel malt, and nuts. The flavors also were largely roasted caramel, nuts, coffee, ans hints of herbal hopping (light). Decent and drinkable beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Served ice cold. Clear brown, on the lighter side. Beige head with some lace. After letting it warm, I caught some toffee and chocolate notes from the nose. The flavor had some of the same chocolate character, with some toasted quality. Mought feel is very watery and thin. Lifeless.

Tasted 4/27/08. Pt 5 of the sampler. Hazy with a brown hue. Soapy head. Nutty and syrupy aromas. Hint of molassis. Good nose. Medium bodied with a nice toasty nutty flavor. Sticky with a cookie malt character. Decent.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear dark brown with small beige head. Sweet, nutty aroma, very slight. Flavor is roasty and light with nuttiness, semi-sweet, seems somewhat oxidized cardboard but that can’t be right seeing as this is one of their mainstay beeers, maybe its an earthy hop presence, who knows, not the bartender... Medium body with light carbonation. A farely uninteresting brown with a funky flavor.

Sampler poured draft at the brewpub (Michigan City, IN). Pours a dark copper and brown, iced tea, with decent whitish head that settles to a film. Aromas are light sweeter dark malts, faint nut and brown sugar. Initial is a bit different, tastes are bitter up front, with a bit of oat and toasty malt on the backend, bitterness, light sweetness mixes in there. A decent brown ale, a little underbodied but not bad.
