Brown, very thin lacing. Thanks Brentfeesh (by way of Seymour). Excellent honey taste. Strong like taffee.

Wonderfully fresh bottle from Trip and Jason. Thanks. Nice deep copper - nut brown pour. Very clear with pretty carbonation. Plenty of aroma with cereal grain, caramel, and a light sweetness that’s like, well sure, honey. Flavor is easy malt with a grain note and a very faint sweetness that is honey like. Medium body with a lingering wet mouthfeel. Can’t wait for the brewery to open!

Clear red-brown, off white foam. Aroma is sweet, malty, toasty, sweet honey, cocoa. Taste is sweet again, cocoa, caramel, light metal but a nice toasty sweet body.

Bottle...thanks to backforty. Pours a nice clear brown color with a small mostly white head. Aroma starts with a nice dose of honey and caramel, followed by a lightly yeasty and bready note. Flavor is loaded with nice honey notes, caramel, very light hops and a small alcohol warmth. Good beer for a style that is usually botched.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom Huntsville. Pours brown with a medium frothy, beige head. The aroma is caramel and brown malts, honey, pine and resin hops, and a significant note of bread dough. The flavor is heavy sweetness and bitterness, which balance and play off each other very nicely. The palate is light to medium and smooth, with a clean finish. Overall, nothing special about the components, but a very well assembled and thought out beer.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a thin off white ring. The aroma has a pleasing honey sweetness with caramel and some fruits. The flavor opens with a honey laced caramel topped bread before becoming more dry and bready in the finish. Medium bodied and enjoyable to the end. This is one of the better brown ales I’ve tried. Thanks Dak!

Pours a light brown with a tiny white head. Honey and fruity esters in the aroma. Very malty and warming with a touch of heavy sweetness.

Tap at The Nook. Pours clear brown with an average, frothy beige head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, caramel, toasted, nutty), light hops (earthy), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of dates and brown sugar. Flavor is heavy malt (bread, cookie, caramel, toasted, nutty), light hops (earthy), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of dates and brown sugar. Medium body, carbonation, and creaminess, low warmth with a medium sweet finish.

on tap @GABF-pours amber with an offwhite head. Aroma is honey, light/medium malt-nutty/caramel. Taste is honey, light/medium malt-nutty/caramel, spice hops.

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