COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a Northern English Brown Ale made with English Maris Otter Pale Ale & Caramel, German Munich, and Belgian Chocolate malts. It is hopped with American Simcoe and English Fuggles & East Kent Goldings. It features a dryer, 'nuttier' malt flavor than Southern Browns, with higher hopping and alcohol levels, though these are still in the low to medium range.

On draft at the brewery. Tasted a little sour. I think it was contaminated. Not a good example of the style. Dark brown color with a light head.

Draft. Pours dark dark brown with a beige head. Nutty sweet aroma with some coffee-like roastiness. The flavor has some nutty sweetness, mocha, and a lighter roast. On the sweet side, but still pretty good.

Deep brown pour with tan head and lace. A bit of a sour stale aroma but not really bad. Lemon and the sour I all too often associate with a brown. Cardboard was a flavor that I got here as well. Thin and watery. I know it didn’t sound like I liked this beer very much but it was a decent drinker.

Growler. Pours a light brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is only oddly sweet, some light roast. Taste is a bit out of whack - overly sweet, kind of fruity. Drank 1/2, just couldn’t finish. 2nd strike for gaslight.

Dickinsonbeer (5075) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - OCT 22, 2006
Tap at the brewpub. Pours a deep brown, moslty clear with a thin short lived head. Aroma was very dull- some light nutty malts and hints of chocolate and light floral hops. Dull flavor as well, a bit fruity, nutty, toasted malts, very light dry chocolate finish. Pretty boring and flavorless.
