Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty nutty chocolate aroma. roasted malty chocolate flavor. Has a roasted malty nutty caramel finish.

Appearance: Served a hazed, dark brown body with a scant, light tan-hued head, though the beer was filled to near overflowing. Smell: A blend of coffee-ish roastiness and heavily toasted bread, with little mingling notes of chocolate and nuttiness in between. Taste: Predominately malty; its toasty, roasty, and hinting of nuts, cocoa, and very mild coffee with a soft sweetness akin to a tittle of brown sugar. Earthy, lightly herbaceous hops with a fine amount of bitterness. Remains mainly malty as you near the finish, though it does manage to dry out at the end. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-light carbonation. Drinkability: A straight-up enjoyable brown ale that’s rather versatile. Pair it with food, don’t pair it with food, whatever you want, really.
