3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 HoppyAlesToYou (143) - Saint John, Indiana, USA - APR 9, 2013
Caramel, cereal, nuts, resin, and spruce aromas in moderation greet the nose. The brown ale aspect of this is a nice twist, as it deepens the color and adds depth to the aroma. The taste is a little too subtle for me, but pretty easy to drink for 6.5% ABV. There is something earthy to this that I cannot pinpoint. An enjoyable and unique ale, try it if you have a chance.
