3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle into my face. Malty sweet and slight hoppy aroma. Reminds me of a New Castle, except a bit lighter on the palate. Easy to drink. I would recommend this to others.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Deep brown with a tan head. Surprisingly hoppy aroma. Flavor is excellent balnace of grains with a fine hoppy finish. I usually find brown ales to be a bit plain but the hops in this kicks it up to a new level. I’m glad to see this in Michigan!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice brown caramel color with a thin head. Roasted malt aroma with a similar flavor. Light body with a slight bitter ending.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear mahogany with a thin tan head and a semi active body. Aroma of caramel, nuts and bready malt. Taste of malt, heavy nuts and mild hops. Somewhat acidic. Finishes up dry, nutty and metallic.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Light to moderate malt note of dark bread, light resin and leather for the hops and yeast, with a hint of ripe fruit in the background. Head is small, between off-white and light brown, with some lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear dark brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes moderately acidic and lightly bitter. Palate is light to medium, a little slick with a lively carbonation and a faintly dry finish. Surprisingly good aromas, and excellent balance throughout.

This beer is not superlative - it isn’t genre-bending, or over-the-top in any way. It might be a portfolio-filler, filling in the gaps in the Brooklyn selection to ensure they offer a broad assortment of beers. But it is really good! Again, not in a superlative way, but I really liked it as a quite solid beer. Brown, brassy colored body, with a nice head. Aroma was caramel-y and pleasantly toffee-ish. Flavor was more caramel, with a surprisingly evident hop presence. Clean mouthfeel. Really, a nice beer!
I bought this beer as part of a mixed six at Party Source in Bellevue, KY.

On tap at Winking Lizard Crosswoods. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Caramel malt nose with some roast and grainy notes. Semi-roasty and nutty flavor with a bitter hoppy and nutty finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Quite delicious. The first positive surprise is the fine hoppy aroma. lightly toasty.
