Clear chestnut. Foamy thin light tan head. Steady carbonation. Light aroma of caramel, chocolate and grassy hops. Light and smooth. Lightly roasted and black malt aftertaste. Grassy hop bitterness. Decent balance. Slightly fizzy. Hints of sweetness, but fairly dry. Finishes grainy, grassier and just eh.

The palate of this beer is almost perfect, it could use a little more bitterness though. I have had a couple of these in a bottle, don’t know if they draft it. good stuff

pours brown with very little head.aroma of chocolate,carmel and nuts.flavor matches the aroma.the mouthfeel of this is way to thin,watery would be a good word for it.light carbonation and a slightly dry empty finish.dont know if all the locals in montana are rating this,but its way over rated.

I grabbed a sixer of these cans up in Yellowstone. Poured it into a pint glass. It looks amazing. Brown to amber on the edges with a thick, dirty-white head. A fragrant beer. A good biscuit, yeasty, wet malt smell. A really solid smelling brown ale. The taste is initially watery, followed by a mild barley flavor. A real let down from how it looked and smelled. It feels like an average ale; moderate carbonation and normal texture. Besides the taste, this beer is fine. Too bad that taste is central to a good beer. It was not undrinkable by any means, but it tasted like a watered down brown ale. Maybe grab some for an athletic drinking event since it goes down easy.

dark brown with small head. roasty malts and slight chocolate. smooth, with a hint of nuts.

Aroma has a roasted malty, coffee, carmel scent. Very dark brownish red color clear with mild carbonation nice tan head that last awhile leaving some lacing. Taste of roasted malt with a coffee, chocolate flavor that leave a Carmel flavor on the tounge. Kind of a light brown ale was very thin. Not bad just missing some fullness.

Draft at Jerry’s. Clear, dark red-amber with decent, creamy, tan head / Mild, sweet, and thin nose of cola, roast barley, and tobacco / Light to medium body, somewhat chewy and sweet, but thin / Weak flavors of cola, toast, coffee, and chocolate / Serious body issues.

Funky-toffee-biscuity thing, also a bit of vegetable/cabbage going on. Flavors mix poorly. Don’t know why this is considered a standout brown ale - I find it off-putting.

Bottle. The nose isn’t real strong, some coffee. Pours molasses brown with a thin white head and good lacing. Flavor is coffee & roasted nuts, very easy drinking abv - awesome drinking brown ale.

This is a beer that I’ve heard about for some time and I was pretty excited to see it in my latest Beer Masons pack. It did not dissapoint, I really enjoyed the malt flavour and aroma of this beer. It is so drinkable and a perfect Autumn beer.

Good dark ale. great flavor with a good thick head. nothing extraordinary but still worth having.
