COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
One of the most popular beers we brew; this is our version of a traditional brown ale. A truly tasty beer, Farmer Brown is low in bitterness with a smooth and malty finish. Like its namesake, it’s outstanding in it’s field!

On tap. It's dark cloudy brown with small head. Aroma is of sweet malt and sugar with a little nuttiness. Taste is VERY sweet with a lot of left over sugars. Malty enough to have a flavor underneath the sugar. Pretty good brown ale, but I need to remember this should be a dessert beer.

Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thin head with little lacing. Sweet, almost to sweet, rootbeer like malt aroma. Slightly sweet malt flavor with rootbeer like notes and a very slight hoppiness. Medium bodied and very smooth.

A very different "brown" than I am used to. Very dark almost purplish color. The flavor is very malty... malts rule here! Can't beat that brewpub-fresh taste either!

Very nutty, sweet, and full. Reminds me of why I used to love brown ales so much. Wish I could say more, but I was getting pretty wasted by the end of this tasting session...suffice it to say that this was above average for this above average brewpub.
