From the 120z bottle purchased at The BeerHive in Pittsburgh. Could be the best hybrid brown ale currently available. Leans to the sweeter side of taste, most likely due to the Scotch Ale influence. Tastes of candied yams and a slight tang of metal add to its uniqueness.

"On Tap at the Dogfish Head Alehouse in Fairfax VA. Poured into a Pint Glass. Paid $7.
A - Two finger light brown head. The beer itself was dark brown with amber hues around the edges of the glass.
S - Lots of malt, spice some cedar wood but also some brown sugar / holiday spices!
T - Still, lots of malt coming through, toffee, brown sugar and something floral but I can’t quite place it.
M - Very heavy with a solid carbonation that makes me smile ear to ear.
O - I LOVE this beer. Just over 7% ABV means i can drink a lot of it and it goes great with salads and breadsticks. Just a nice beer to sip or gulp!"

Aroma is a maple malt as is the flavor. It’s a black ale with a brown head. It has a bit if a strange aftertaste but pretty good overall.

Pours dark brown with ruby highlights and a medium tan head. Aroma is raisinettes and coffee. Taste is sharp roasted malts, caramel, dark chocolate, and a slight acidity on the back end. Full bodied with a bit of a woody mouthfeel. This is delicious and more complex than most brown ales. There’s a more satisfying hop bitterness with this beer that is rare with this style. Good stuff.
