3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On a recent trip to Fort Collins with friends, we had the opportunity to try this one on tap at the brewery. Poured a reddish-brown color with a light brown head. Aromas of nuts, chocolate and light coffee. On the palate, this one was medium bodied, with flavors of milk chocolate and toasted nuts.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light chestnut brown, with an aroma of cocoa, toffee, with a slight touch of coffee tones. But the taste lost all those qualities. Very light bodied and chocolate malty. Bland and uncomplicated. Still tasty though.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ar: Sweet smell, with coffee and chocolate the most obvious.
App: Dark pour, with a dark ruby, amber, and cloudy color when held up to the light. Finger width head quickly goes away
T: Sweet, caramel taste. Not as sweet as the smell, and there’s a toast flavor there as well. A little bit of bitterness lingers after the swallow.
M: Pretty crisp feel, medium-bodied, and not heavy at all.
A very good taste, the clean feel, and an ABV that’s not too high makes for a solid, delicious brown ale. Another good beer from this great brewery.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery. Poured a deep brown color with ruby highlights and a thin, tight off-white that faded to a layer and left some spotty lacing. Aroma or roasted malt, toffee, chocolate, nuts, and some light earthy hops. Smooth, sweet entry with hints of caramel and chocolate that lead into a moderate roastiness with a light nuttiness that lingers into the finish where it is paired with a lightly bitter hoppiness with light hints of citrus fruit. Low carbonation and soft, smooth mouth feel. Overall, I find it really hard to find brown ales that I enjoy, even though I really enjoy the style overall, but this is a really solid brown ale that I have gone back to the brewery to get more of more than once.
