Excellent easy-drinking brown ale, low hops and high malt, yet avoids being overly sweet.

Nice flavor with a mixture of hops, fruit and a hint of chocolate. Fizzy head after a nice pour.

Well, the first thing that hit me when I cracked open the bottle and poured was the deceiving scent of Cascade hops. I say deceiving because there was only a light hint of it in the flavor. I did taste traces of chocolate and sweet fruits. The body was definitely present and full. It left fine lace and a light head and was dark brown (uhh..brown ale?) in color with a mohogany tinge. As far as brown ales go, it’s a good one. Of course, I just finished racking some pale ale I am brewing, so I was VERY thirsty for a beer after smelling that wonderful malt aroma. Maybe that had something to do with how good this was. Then again. Maybe not.

HOLY CRAP this is a good beer. Great spicy, fruity flavor with plenty of hops and a trace of caramel at the end. My new favorite brown ale...even better than Newcastle, I’d say.

My favorite from St. Arnold’s. I had this one on tap at the brewery, and it was an amazing treat. Very malty, sweet ale.
