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.

Draught. One of the best Browns around. Definitely grab this if you see it.

Brown ales aren’t my favorite but this one is very easy to drink. A very balanced "fall time" beer.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

From bottle. Pours a amber brown with nice head. Aroma was thick with caramel and roasted goodness. Taste follows with a medium mouthfeel and wonderful aftertaste.
3.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Dark clear ambef color. Good heaf. Very malty taste but smooth on palate. Good malty beet.
4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
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!

suprised to see such a high rating. could have been an older bottle that I had- didn’t seem to have much life left. Pours a translucent brown with a thin white quickly disappating head. taste is malt with some interest on the finish with a hit of hops- website says "generous use of hops" but does not list actual ibu’s. the light color sort of threw me off- expected there to be a bit more to it. does make sense of the commercial description though- could pair with a cool fall evening or work on a warm summer evening. definitely not heavy, just not quite enough to it. maybe a bit wimpy?
