3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can: Ruby brown, lots of fine sediment suspended about, moderate frothy beige head, fairly sticky lacing. Roasted malt nose, slightly earty, seems sweet. Sweet to start, even a bit dry, roasty, pale chocolate malts, even a smidgen of Anise. Seems like Chub Light. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Soft roasted malt finish, a bit of earth as well. Fairly good stuff... I would seek this out again. Thanks for sharing mattbob!

Grain, bread, hops in the aroma on this brown pour. It leaves nice white lacing. Bready malt mixed with citrus hops make for a nice drink with a smooth finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can. Simple brown pour, bulbous head, thins quickly. Solid aroma of nutty malts, caramel, toffee, toasted grains, brown sugar and very restrained hops. Moderate diacetyl noted is nothing bothersome. Flavor is simple and slightly rustic, earthy grains mixed with nuts and sugars. Very light mouthfeel. Finishes sweet with toffee and on a very sharp, brief note. Highly quaffable, a session brown I’d be happy to partake in again.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned at Hop Devil: Nice nut brown pour with an amber hue in the light, topped by a thick and stable tan creamy head. Earthy and dirty aroma, but appetizing. Peat-like with evident lemony hops. The body was thinner than I expected, especially considering the aroma. The flavor comes through nicely with lots of roasty caramel hints, an almondy sweetness and a lemony hop bite in the finish. A decent Brown Ale.

Cask @ HDG. Medium brown with a big bubbled head. Aroma is toasted caramel and sweet grains. Flavor is sweet without being cloying. Nutty and caramel flavors with a hint of toffee and butterscotch. Really drinkable.

GABF 2006: Clear dark chestnut color. The aroma was sweet and toasty with notes of toffee and diacetyl. Malty and sweet flavor had a moderate amount of roasted malt. Some coffee notes poke through.
