341ml brown bottle. Pours chestnut brown, throws off orangey highlights. A very full thick creamy cap formed and stayed throughout the glass with some streaky lacing stuck on the glass. Aroma is nutty choclatey malt, a touch sweet (caramel). Flavour is similar to aroma, soft chocolate malts, faint nut. Dryish end, mild carbonation and a light body make it go down failry easily. Good local brown.

A good malty beer... not strong by any means but really smooth and drinkable... a good "hot summer day" beer.

They’ve changed the label design to be far more conservative-- gone are the cartoon cats. Anyway, this pours a dark amber brown. Aromas of caramel and almost marmalade (I’m not sure, because it became less evident as time went on). Palate is on the thin side with predominently caramel flavour. Very nice.
