3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a solid dark brown color with a smallish brown head that shows moderate retention. Smells of caramel, chocolate, a bit nutty with little to no hop presence. Taste is sweet and malty with a caramel earthy chocolate flavor to it. Medium body and carbonation level with a sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. Nice brown ale with a nutty edge. I’m glad I got to try this.

Pretty good brew. Pours brow with a tan head. Aroma is slightly nutty, but mostly spiced yeast. Really easy drinking, thin in mouth with a really smooth finish with hints of honey and nuts. Gets better as it warms.
