3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. pours a dark red-brown with a finegrained, even head. Nose has nutty and toasty elements, but there’s also an almost Fig Newton note to it, as well as just a touch of smoky booziness. Flavor is crisp and dry; more smoke, more roast, a slight lactic edge, and less alcohol than I’d think from the nose. Palate is clean. Good.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap; nice malty nutty smell. Sweet malt, nutty, even cola flavors. A very nice standard English brown.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a 12oz bottle. Can’t believe I haven’t rated this one yet.
Small white head, deep brown. What you need to know about this one vs. any other: more malt with an undertone of mocha. Balance is also phenomenal, as it doesn’t veer towards the overly heavy feel that characterizes too many brown ales. Another respectable offering from Brooklyn.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Had on draft. Lots of toasted malt flavor. Very nice English style brown with more hops added. Nice winter beer.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Nose is full of nuts, caramel, toffee, and roasted malts. Getting some nice dark chocolate notes as well. Flavor has an almond quality. Similar to the aroma, taste is primarily caramel, toffee, and roast. Not really any hop character. Palate is thin and somewhat watery, but the carbonation level is good. A very average brown ale. Quite drinkable, but does nothing to distinguish itself.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From notes. Tasted on draft at Jake Melnick’s. Pours clear brown with a bit of amber tint and a coating off-white head that leaves a smooth lace blanket. The nose is caramel malts with a hint of prune and a light bread yeast aroma. The flavor displays the same fruity malts with prune and grape along with a bit of bread yeast. The body is light with lively carbonation and a medium fruity and nutty finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear, brown, off-white head. Aroma is of toast and roastiness w/ chcolate behind it. Taste if more malt, toast and chocolate. Finish is bitter, but with more malt in the front (than bitterness).
