Pours translucent brown with dark head. Light palate. Caramel and some hops. Not a ton of flavor but a good session.

Bottle. Reddish brow pour with creamy tan head. Mostly malt on the nose with a faint hit of hops at the end. Smooth mouthfeel without much else. Slight hops on the finish.

Pours a deep brown, white foam. Good nutty aroma. Flavor is caramel, nutty, toasty well balanced with a background bitterness. Body is medium-heavy with low carbonation.

pours dark brownish in coloration, very heavy on the chocolate in my opinion especially for a brown ale, malty with subtle hop notes , very drinkable yet just barely seperates itself enough from the norm

Draught sample at the Portsmouth restaurant. Still not a big fan of brown ales and this one did not change my opinion. Certainly drinkable but seemed a little bland and chalky, especially at the finish.

Clear brown with a tan head. Aroma of nuts, heavily roasted malt and caramel. Taste of nuts, sweet malt, caramel. Body is somewhat chalky but overall a decent brown ale.

Draft at Union Hall. Medium/dark brown pour with creamy off-white head. Roasty malt on the nose as well as toffee and dark dried fruits. Definite hop presence as well. A little nutty and a touch of chocolate. Quite enjoyable overall. Would have enjoyed a few more of these.
