Tap. Nice roasted coffe up front followed by a vanilla candy cane sweetness. Decent.

A second sample was this fine brown ale. Hardly an electrifying style this is instead an excellent sessionable beer. Though your wallet may not agree your palate will be happy after a couple of these.

Aroma / Appearance - The almond brown base overwhelms the minimal head. Noble hops, malty iced tea, and nutty blasts of caramel tickle the senses. Peanut butter on white toast makes the mouth water.

Flavor / Palate - Nuttiness, malts, and noble hops ease into a warm transition that invites more reflection. The finish is like walnuts ground up into a smoothie. This is a solid beer that balances drinkability with the need to be able to taste things after a couple of imperial pints.

.Tap sample. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable brew.

Sample at the brewpub on 8/29/11. Clear dark brown pour with a medium beige head. Aroma of light roast, caramel and nuts. Malty flavor with a bit of diacetyl butteriness and roasty coffee with a caramel finish.
