Bottle Poured into glass. Red brown pour with a healthy khaki head that sticks around. Nose is typical brown ale with caramel, toffee, and hazelnut up front. Really smooth and creamy body. Hazelnut Taste with some caramel sweetness and a mild roasted malt bitter finish. Pretty nice.

Amber pour with a thumbs worth of offwhite head that left gobs of lacing down the glass. Toasted malt in the nose, as well as some hops. Taste is much better - Bitter hops balanced out with toasted malt, caramel, nuts, bready aftertaste. Medium body. Very easy drinking.

4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 darthmoore (8) - Michigan, USA - MAY 8, 2013 does not count
Pours a beautiful stained walnut color with a dense two and a half finger khaki head. When held to the light it has a tinge of ruby and a bit of unfiltered haze. Leaves behind plenty of sticky lacing.
The scent is of bread and caramel with a bit of fruity yeast. Spiced pear maybe?
Taste is of malt, caramel and toast with just a bit of hop bitterness. Beer is moderately sweet from beginning to end but not in any cloying way.
Beer is full bodied and slick with average carbonation. The finish is a bit abrupt but there is some astringency left behind. Not in an unpleasant way though.
Overall this is a truly exceptional example of a brown ale and one of my favorite beers.
Cheers!
