This is a pretty good Brown Ale, especially given the circumstances under which it was brewed. This is a good example of making lemonade when life hands you lemons, or in this case making beer when life floods your brewpub. Dark brown with a medium thin beige head. The aroma is mostly sweet malt with a roasted nutty character as well. Medium-bodied with a strong malt and caramel flavor. It retains the nutty flavor but the hops come through progressively. The finish is fairly hoppy. This is a solid session brew and goes well with food.
