I tasted it next to an American brown, which I know is a different style. And I know that I’m not supposed to like macros. But this stikes me nicely (at home; at the right temperature). The sweet malt comes through but not nearly so much to pull it into porter/stout territory. Lots of caramel and cherries. I’d love to taste it next to a Samuel Smith’s.

Tap. Dark brown pour with no head (bad barkeep). Nutty chocolate scent with perhaps tarragon. Thin body for the style and very little taste to speak of. Nuts and vanilla primarily. Too mild for my taste. It actually could have benefitted from higher carbonation.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a dark clear brown with a finger and a half of brown head a little lacing. The smell is has slight chocolate flavor with some nutty hints. the taste is smooth with a bit of The feel of this beer is pretty light and really goes down well. It is one of the best brown ales I have tried and it a really session beer.

Tap, bottle. Brown amber pour, small head. Medium everything - aroma, taste, and palate. Typical brown ale elements of nut and toffee, but just not done very well. Sorry, Eddie, I’ll wear the hat for you, but you can drink the beer.

Brown amber pour. Not a large head. Aroma of caramel and honey. Taste was a mix of light malt and roasted malt, though a little thin and lacking. It’s all right, but give it no significant praise.
