Bottle Light amber pour with almost no head. Nutty sweet aroma with a hint of hops. Light earthy nutty flavor followed by a simple but pleasant hop profile. Overall, pretty good brown.

Bottle. Poured a borwn/amber clear body with thin head. Aroma is of sweet malt, with slight chocolate tones being detected. Taste is slightly sweet with a small amount of hops being present. Smooth and drinkable.

Pours amber brown with a small tan head. Nutty, malty, caramel aroma. Nicely hopped, lightly sweet malt, with notes of caramel, and chocolate. Palate is light/medium, slightly bitter, and roasty nutty chocolate. Very nicely balanced, and easy drinking.

On tap @ Colter Bay, Buffalo, NY. Nice lamty & smoooth brown ale. Reminds me of my pooch Guinness. Nice hop presence but doesn’t prevent a nice balanced brown ale. Well done. a nice session brew.

Pours a clear reddish brown with a half inch head that quickly fades to a spotty cap and ring with decent lacing. Smell; lots of caramel malts and nuts, with hints of some bitter chocolate. There’s a bit of some floral hops, not much but they’re there. Taste; sweet at first, with caramel malts and touches of chocolate. The slightly bitter roasted nuts follow, along with a mild hop bite. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and very drinkable, as a brown ale should be.

Cloudy brown. Smell of malt, peanuts, hops, roasted coffee beans, citrus and sugar. Taste of peanuts, malt, citrus, roasted nuts now, hops, orange zest, bits of caramel and hints of coco. Nice brown ale.

Brown pour with light head. Aroma was light & malty with a tad of sweetness. Taste is classic brown ale - medium body, smooth finish. I liked it, but it just doesn’t stand out.

Just an ok beer for me. The beer is dark brown/amber. Smell is actually not that inviting. The taste was a bit better than the smell, but nothing out of the ordinary. I was hoping for something that set this beer apart, but did not find much. It also had a strange metallic taste, which may be an old or bad bottle. That has to be considered.
