An average dark ale that tastes very american and is far behind Belgian and German ales.

Dark amber/brown with hints of ruby. Generous creamy head. I wasn’t expecting such a robust appearance but im not complaining there. Lots of caramelized, sweet malts with a touch of hops. Not quite as much of the roasted or nutty characters that many browns have though. Overall, a pretty good beer, worth a try.

Deep brown color, with rich ruby undertones. Full creamy head, a visually better looking beer then I had expected. Some sweet malt in the nose, but misses some of the nutty and sugary aromas of browns I have enjoyed. Finishes a little fast and somewhat hoppy.

Bottle, coarse bubbled head collapses quickly, rich amber/brown/ garnet hue. Smells just like Yuengling Lager to me, a bit stale, some wet cardboard. Taste has a mild a hop backbone, a bit lagerish, just a trace of brown ale flavor, watery mouthfeel, highly attenuated without much malt body. Finishes watery with a quickly dissipating hop flavor. Doesn’t cross the finish line with a 3 rating for me.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a reddish tint, with two finger tan head. Malty aroma. Not what I expected when I saw "brown" ale. Not a lot of flavor, but what is there is a bit watery with a malty taste.

This is not my kind of brown ale..Pours a clear copper colour with decent size off white head. lacing is nice, but thin and scattered. aroma is a little metallicy and malty at times. touch of nuttiness, but mostly watery at times. weak brown ale in my opinion.
