Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Honey sweet aroma with some light toasty notes. The flavor has toasted grains, honey, and low bitterness. Pretty good.

Not a bad beer. Toasty enjoyable. I would get it again. Somewhat similar to the big name guys. But worth a try. On tap.

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 3, 2011
Bottle from liquor express. Pours dark honey with a half inch of khaki head. Why the hell anyone would put honey in a brown ale is beyond me. The taste is mushy and confused. The elements just don’t blend together well. At least the taste, such as it is, doesn’t linger.

Bottle pours a clear copper with a lacing off white head. Scent is honey and apple. Taste is honey, pepper and earthy.

Draft from On Tap in Hoover. Looks decent (it’s a trick). Smells like dirty feet. Tastes like vinegar vomit. Disgusting, I had rather drink liquified turds.

On tap, amber color with ample off white foam, aroma is malt and caramel, flavor of honey, caramel, copper pennies, would make a decent bitter
