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!

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap @ Hamilton’s: Thick inch of fluffy cream colored head with an extraordinary long life. Color was an autumn brown hue. Aroma is minor and sweet but to hard to depict what I really smelled due to the atmosphere. Flavor is initially sweet and fruity with a pinch of apple and orange squeeze with minor background of nuts but it maybe just the toasted malt fooling me.
