4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
A good roast in the aroma. This eliminates the bitterness left by the IPA I just had quite nicely. Roasty, creamy and not nutty to me, I like this one a lot. In fact, for me this is one of the best browns that I’ve had!

On tap @ Hamilton’s Tavern San Diego. Pours a mostly clear deep brown, off white head with some lacing. Nose was faint but very nice, good toasted malt aromas. Finish was very smooth and left you wanting more!
