Draft at Moriartys. Poured a very dark brown with just a hint of red/orange against bright light. Foamy off-white head. Slight lace. Aroma a bit thin but nice deep full roasted nut flavors. Almonds/cashews/hazelnuts. Burnt biscuits with nut butter. Well mixed. Nice dry finish for a Brown Ale.

Bottle at the airport brewpub. Pours a very dark brown color with almost no head on it. Nose is definitely nutty with just a little bit of toasting to it. Taste is quite malty and slightly thick. Decent taste, but nothing special.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice clean aroma, medium brown you can see through, of cream head with a little lacing. Clean caramel, sweet flavor with sweet slightly cloying back end. This one surprised me. Better than I thought it would be.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very surprised to find out I haven’t rated this "standard" before. Solid brown ale with a myriad of nice, mild, requisite brown ale flavors. Looks beautiful! Little thin for me. Overall, session recommended.

Has a nice nutty flavor. Nice follow through. Really Easy to drink. I think that I'll have a few.

Bottle. Dark brown color, medium tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, caramel, and hint of tobacco. Medium sweet taste. Body medium-full, texture on the creamy side but too much, dry finish. Overall this is an excellent brown.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draft at Blue Monkey. Nice notes of roast and nut, mild chocolate finish. Hints of earth and tobacco. A little too thin in the body, but I enjoyed it.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: pours dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma is toast, nutty bread. The flavor is nice. It’s a malty, nutty smoothness. It’s wonderful. This is a nice example of an inoffensive beer. It’s nothing that will make people rave, but it slides under the radar as a great beer.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Monks Porter House.
Clear dark brown with a small head. Aroma and taste of light roasted malt, some chocolate, dried fruit, nuts and syrup. On the thin side, drinkable but nothing to write home about.
