3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 oz bottle...poured in an English pint glass - nice head, subsided quickly...a tasty brown ale - nowhere near the chewiness of a Newcastle (is that even a brown ale??) but a nice drink...hops not very strong, but, then again, I mostly drink IPAs...

Bottle; poured a brownish color with small to medium creamy head. Aroma was light; caramel and nuts. Not a big fan of the style and this is version is nothing special. Flavor of caramel, chocolate and not much else. Mouthfeel was a little off. Expected a bit more from them.

A pretty good beer. It has a balanced hop and malty aroma. The flavor begins with a sharp note of hops and morphs into maltiness with a note of yeast. The mouthfeel is the slightest bit syrupy, which I’m not a fan of, but it’s not too prominent.

Brown. Slightly sweet. Smooth, medium body. Just a solid beer nothing special.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Looks like very dilute cola, with a ringing very small white head. Lightly sweet stonefruit and toast aroma. Almost comes off as an amber ale - a good bit of bittering, some sulphur. Body somehow reminds me of styrofoam - simultaneously substantial and vacant. Light vanilla spiciness. A little tangy in the finish.

Had this one on tap down at Glory Days. Murky brown color with a nose of caramel and mild medium acidic hops. This one was a little over carbonated, but it really had a great maltiness to it. It had a choco caramel taste with a mild burntness to it. I was really impressed.

On draft @ Bottoms up in Richmond Va. Pours clear brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, & brown sugar. The flavor is nuts, sweetness, caramel, and brown sugar. Thin bodied, not a bad brew.
