Nice looking, brown clear. Refreshing beer, hoppy nice bitterness. Nice feel, light smooth clean, woody. Decently roasted grains.

Nice strong malt backbone and interesting spicy bits as well. Another quality Michigan brown but I’m still in mourning for Boyne River.

Nice beer bottle brown color, nearly opaque with rusty edges, thin tan cap adorns the top A thin collar keeps and the lacing is spongy in strings. Nose is mild with a slight roasty malt and a bit of caramel and toffee. Taste brings out much more, thank goodness for that, and whats there is quite nice for a brown. Well rounded taste, mild and foregoing, lengthy and bold. Roasty, husky, earthen malts speak easy across the palate, moderately sweet with a dark toffee tang. Some astringencies are present, but not eagerly so, just right I think. Feel is good with about a medium body and a peppy carbonation. Lightly dry roasty touch slips into the finish. A fine brown ale to be sure, not as sweet as others which was good. More of a straight up roastyness with a small earthy, raw grains taste that’s nicer then most browns.

Bottle. Very nicely done brown ale. Rich malty aromas mix with hops in the nose. Deep chestnut color. Thin head. Malts dominate the taste, very rich and nutty. Hops show in the tail end nicely. Recommended!
