Pours a clear dark brown with a large foamy tan head that lingers. Aroma is sweet malts, nuts, molasses, a light citrus hops. Flavor is lightly hoppy, with more sweet malts, nuts, and molasses. I’m not a huge fan of browns, but this is decent and drinkable stuff, thanks again Andy! PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Mar 24, 2009 Cask at 3rd Manhattan Cask Fest: Pours a deep brown- not much light comes through- well retained tan head. Mild aromatics- some nutty notes and brown sugar. The body is nice and creamy with a great flavor. Very nutty with toasted crystal malt flavor and a solid but soft chocolaty caramel sweetness. There’s a mildly spicy hop character toward the back giving off some pine bitterness to balance. A very nice Brown Ale. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 18, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Very nice aroma of roasted malt, molasses, and nuts. Smooth flavor that blends together well and is a little sweet. I am not a fan of most brown ales, but I did enjoy this one. Great flavor.
