3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A decent example of the style. Has some grass and dirt in the aroma. The taste was surprisingly hoppy and very refreshing. My first from this partcular brewer. Nice.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a deep ruby brown with a smaller off white head. Nose is lots of citrus hops, which surprised me, along with some molasses notes. Taste is pretty bitter with some sweetness. Lighter side of medium on the palate, lively, and refreshing. A lot of complexity to it. I think this is way underrated. It drinks like it has a higher ABV, and is a great beer for hopheads. I was impressed.

Cloudy brown with slight red tint,large creamy head..Aroma is coffee and nuts. Tastes is malty,woody, bitter chocolate...sort of musty.Decent carbonation....My second try on this one, they both just seemed a little off to me....kind of a bruised tea flavour and smell....not great.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz pour pours a hazy brownish/amber color with minimal head. Aroma of nuts and mild roasted malts. The flavor is a little more intense in the nuttiness and you still have the back taste of the roasted malt. Overall not a bad beer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours light brown. Extremely nutty, and a little too sweet with toasted malts.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Interesting stuff. Some of the qualities of Newcastle but much richer. Crisp almost for a brown ale. Medium malty. Hops flavor seems a bit out of place. A Serving: Bottle
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours hazy brown amber with a beige head. Aroma is sweet malt, nutty, and a little toast. Flavor is much the same with the addition of some roasty chocolate notes and a dose of hoppy bitterness.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from Cavie. Brown pour with an off-white head. Aroma is pungent, a little sour, fruity, and almost woody. Taste is dry, bitter chocolate, fruit, and musty caramel.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep brown with a tall, tan and creamy head that really hangs around through the entire drink. Strong nutty nose, mild hint of chocolate, very light dark fruity finish. Flavor starts with a great nutty and chocolate combination that adds in a light vanilla in the middle and finishes with a very light raising and plum fruitiness at the finish. The brew has a pretty dense feeling with low, fine carbonation that lends a pretty nice creamy feeling. The glass has perfect lacing layers left on it after each glass. Overall a very tasty brew thats very well rounded and probably one of the best brown ales I have had the pleasure of rating.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle from Mariano’s single rack. Pours hazy brown with tan head. Aromas of caramel, nuts, and a little fruity citrus. Flavors of caramel, light chocolate, good amount of malt, and a hint of citrus and brown sugar. Has a nice soft biscuity malt presence to it. Thought this was going to be another boring brown ale, but this one is at least sessionable at the very least.
