Shirlington Location. Cark brown (almost black) color. Tan head. Taste was sweet (not too sweet though). Flavor was nutty, with coffee and chocolate tones. Pretty light, and very smooth - and almost a porter.

Pint at the downtown location. Medium muddled brown colored body, smallish tan head. Faint chocolate malt, cracked grains, some sweetish wood and raisin but all very faint, with some lightish toffee and bread flavors. Bit boring on the palate, and a bit boring overall.

Excellent taste, color, the whole batch of classifications. Made my night out with Alex from Newcastle set off on the best foot possible. The pulled pork BBQ Nachos as a 1/2 price appetizer... don’t know, not quite as big a fan of those.

(Downtown) Clear, dark red-brown body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, coffee, some nutty. Taste is medium sweet, nutty, chocolate, coffee, light caramel. Light-medium body, light acidity. Served too cold, better once it warms up.

A middle of the road brown ale. Dark brown color with a heavy brown ale flavor. Not really well balanced. Decent enough to have another.

A bit different than I expected. It reminds me of a stout or porter, but with a very light body. Almost like a light stout, if such a thing were to exist.

(Draught) Pours a medium brown with an average-sized tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and nuts with a similar flavor. Somewhat bitter palate. Descent brown ale.
