COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
CBC’s medal winning old town brown is a German-style brown ale. This beer has a clean well rounded dark malt character which creates a mild chocolate aroma and flavor. Colder fermentation temperatures and long cellaring time makes our brown a truly smooth all round brew.

Barreras (608) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - MAY 30, 2011
Pours a deep chocolate brown color with aroma of coffee beans and roasted malt. Taste of coffee and chocolate malt. A very easy drinking brown ale that I stumbled upon while walking Downtown Las Vegas. A must try if in the area.

WesKBob (563) - Bethany, Oklahoma, USA - JUL 14, 2009
Pours a dark reddish brown with thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and some caramel sweetness. The flavor is bread and sticky sweet caramel malt. Sticky mouthfeel yet strangely carbonated..

Wittales (438) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - JUL 20, 2012
Appearance was clear root beer brown with creamy off white diminishing 1 finger head, spotty lacing. Aromas are all caramel, chocolate, toffee malts with hints of herbal hops. Taste is all about the malts that follow the nose with chocolate, caramel, toffee, nutty with slight spice. Palate was smooth creamy light CO2 with meduim body. A Decent nutty malty average length finish is smooth. A good local brown to enjoy...

Draft sample at Chicago Brewery - dark red with a small head. Has a nutty coffee aroma and a hazelnut taste to it. Malty backbone with a thin finish.

lukin (337) - Ontario, CANADA - AUG 9, 2011
Draught sampler. Ruby colour. Aroma of malts, vanilla, some whiskey notes as it warmed. Taste a thin reflection of the aroma, on the sweeter side. A little plain, but good enough.
