Commercial Description:
A delicious brown ale with a deep chesnut color. Low hop rate and light carbonation make this brew a smooth and creamy number with a rich, malty-sweet finish. Look closely for the touch of roastedness in the background.

Thanks for the beer, SpringsLicker. Poured a dark amber. The aroma is roasted caramel and walnuts. The taste has pears and honey. A little bit of earthy moss in the finish.

Received a 12-oz bottle from lithy via trade. Pours a semi-clear brownish amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted dark malt, roasted nuts, a touch of floral hops and some tea. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of rosted nuts, roasted barley, floral hops and a touch of toffee. Finish has a nice malty and floral hop aftertaste.
