Pours medium clear brown with a slight fading tan head. Aroma is muted with just a hint of brown sugar,. Balanced with a slight bump in bitterness at the end. More sweet than earthy.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tap - big foamy head, very dark amber/alomost borwn color, pretty standard mild brown ale, sweet malty flavor - just not my favorite style of beer overall
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. The pour was a clear medium brown with a large (2-3 finger) foamy head that was mostly diminishing and had fair lacing.
The aroma was light of roasted cereal malts and a lightly sweet leathery yeast with hints of milk chocolate, coffee and a touch of molasses.
The taste was mildly sweet with just a hint of chocolate and a pinch of molasses from the onset and finished with a slightly bitter chocolate-coffee flavor that lasted an average amount of time after the swallow.
Mouthfeel was somewhere between light and medium in body and a bit watery in texture with a mild carbonation.
Overall a mild tasting and well balanced Brown Ale that possessed an excellent drinkability.

Bottle: Clear brown with a thin off white head. Aroma was light malts. Taste was not impactful at all light malts, wet, some sour tons. Wonder if the bottle was paste its BB date.
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 1/20
Tap. Medium brown, tan thin head. Malty aroma. Malty, sour, little hops. I remember this being hoppier but oh well. Still nice and local. This was a gateway beer for me.
