Thick head when poured. Aroma was smooth. Brown, mahogany in color. Lightly sweet, medium bitterness. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation and a nice bitter finish. I greatly enjoyed this beer.

Bottle. Pours brown medium tan head. Aroma of caramel chocolate, toast, but also subtle hops. Taste is mild sweet. Medium body, slick texture, mild bitter finish. Well balanced but could just a bit maltier. Overall nice brown ale.

Hazy dark amber pour with moderate bubbly light tan head. Nutty aroma with some caramel and bread present. Taste is light roasted malt and with some nuttiness and a touch of caramel sweetness. Finishes on a very slight bitter note. A fairly tasty brown ale, although a touch more hops on the nose and palate would have been welcome.

pours a hazy milk chocolate brown with nice foamy white head. A lively hoppy nose, a bit of nuttiness on the palate, very easy drinking. Nice Ale.

Bottle. Aroma: Strong blueberry, banana, scents of bread and caramel, slight chocolate. Appearance: Dark, cloudy brown with lasting, tan, frothy head. Taste: Sweet, fruity, notes of plum and berries, and surprisingly light, with slight bitter finish. Palate: Light to medium body, slick texture, average carbonation, long and slightly bitter finish. The aroma is a bit too intense, but the flavor is great and it is drinkable for a dark beer. A pleasant Brown Ale.

Medium dark amber color with a light tan head that dissipated quickly. Nutty aroma. Nut and caramel start with a fruity hop finish.
