Draft-Nodding Head Center City Philadelphia. Dark Brown ale, came highly recommended but not a big fan. It does have a slight chocolate/earthy flavor but overall nothing overwhelming and not enjoyable to me when it was serviced lukewarm. Its still better than Monkey Knife fight...

Cask and draft. Pours a light brown color. Aroma of slight chocolate and faint nuts. Flavor of chocolate, nuts, caramel (some sourness too), dry earthiness. The flavor is a bit underdone, mouthfeel light and dry. Meh.

theisti (2843) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - FEB 20, 2013
Shaker cask pour at the brewpub in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The pour is deeply hazed brown, with not too much of a khaki head. The aroma is sweet malt, malted chocolate, and touch of bitter sweetness. The taste is real chocolate, semi sweet chocolate chips, along with caramel malt and a fruity yeastiness. The palate is light to medium bodied, silky cask mouth feel, naturally low carbonation, and a sweet finish. Nice enough.

Brown with a medium head. Aroma is malty, toasted, chocolate, lightly nutty. Medium bodied. Flavor is lightly sweet toasted malts, chocolate, nutty, caramel. Really well done, easy going, tasty, brown ale. Can do three or four of these in a row.

On draft @ their brew-pub. Poured a dark brown, prett much opaque & sparse head. Their list says hints of chocolate & malt, and that’s exactly what I got from it. Smooth & drinkable.
