Poured a very dark brown with a large off-white head. Not much aroma, but hints of caramel malts and nuts. Taste is pretty simple, mainly of nuts, with some caramel in the aftertaste. Sweet. Slightly watery. Overall nothing special, but very drinkable.

Smells mildly of dark caramel malts. Taste is crisp with a nice caramel malt back. Not incredibly flavorful, but not bad.

Slightly cloudy, deep brown appearance with a fairly large, well laced, tan head. Toasted, caramel malt aroma with some bitter chocolate peeking thru as well. Earthy, moderately sweet, nutty taste. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a lingering finish.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of malts, caramel, and nuts. Poured brown/deep amber in color with a small to medium-sized tan head that greatly diminished but lasted around the edges. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of malts, nuts, slight chocolate, and light caramel. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malty, nutty finish.

Cardboard brown amber color with root beer float head. Mild aroma of roast malt. Flavor has decent roastiness and some caramel. Perhaps some nuttiness. Well-rounded though light-medium bodied. Ordinary brown ale.

This beer poured a dark brown color with slightly off-white head that was approximately two fingers and dissipated quickly. The aroma was of caramel, toffee, and roasted malt. The flavor was pretty much the same as the aroma. The mouthfeel of the beer was medium-bodied. This was a nice beer that was definitely sessionable. Nothing spectacular, but good.
