Draft at Fox & Hound, Wilmington, NC... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Clear brown ale with a large, frothy, beige head. Caramel and toasted nut nose. Malty, nutty, caramel flavor. Leans toward the sweet side of balance and offers up a good bit of buttery diacetyl. Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Moderately malty, crisp finish.

12oz bottle acquired in trade (I can’t find who this came from, if it was you, let me know!). Poured a deeper brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, light caramel, and some nuts. I was also getting an earthiness to it. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, toasted malts, and nuts. Thinner body.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to ucusty: Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a spotty-lacing khaki-colored head. Aroma of sweet toasted caramel with some nuttiness and mild earthy notes. Starts with a good dark caramel malty sweetness and toasted hazelnut flavor with a touch of earthy bittering hops before a semi-dry finish. A pretty good and true to style brown ale.
