Style: Brown Ale
Neustadt, Canada

Can. Pours a deep, dark reddish brown with a tan head. Aroma is malt and grain. Smells like homebrew. Taste is malt a touch of chocolate and fruitcake. This is pretty malty for a brown ale. This beer doesn’t beg me to keep drinking. It’s OK, but not something I would seek out.

From a can. Pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a rich red hue. "Clear. Thick, thin bubble cream head. Quickly dissipates, but laces down the sides to the bottom. Loads of sweet malt on the nose, roasted, chocolate, a little lactose, caramel, slight diacetyl, stewed prunes, and a little herbal licorice. Malt forward a little floral nobel hop presences. Balanced for what it should be. The flavour is of a vanilla spiked chocolate, some caramel sugars, a little astringent in it’s mildly dry finish. Currents and prunes, with licorice, roast, malt sweetness and herbs. Very rich coffee spiked with honey and rich cream. A little bready from the yeast. The mouthfeel is full, grainy, creamy, full and indeed rich. The carbonation is moderate- medium, and just beautifully attenuated. Subtle dryness with a touch of residual sugars. This is a fantastic beer that does not get enough credit for what it is. A regular tap selection at my regular pub and to see it fends just as well as fresh in cans is a great thing. Cheers!

473ml can. The colour is a reddish brown with a tall, milkshake-like cream coloured head. The aroma is nutty with some raisin, molasses, light wood. The head retention is quite good.
