Serve in English pint, Shaker

on tap-pours a light tan head and dark copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-roasty. Taste is metallic (hops?), diacytl-medium malt-roasty. A little long in the tooth.

Sampled at the brewpub/restaurant. Similar to the ESB - on cask, almost flat, almost warm - just darker and obvious roasted barley presence.

A very fine darker mild... malty, dominated by toasted malts, very little hop aroma or flavor, which fits surprisingly well for this beer.

I smell chocolate! This is a brown ale without the hops. This is dark and a tad sticky. Sweet, pleasant, bright clean finish. Super.

07.21.04 On tap at brewpub. Cloudy dark cola color, ample head. Actually looks a bit like a glass of Coke with big sudsy bubbles. Sour aroma. Coating lace. Apples and clove are first impression. Flavor reminds of an overripe plum. Delicious! Unctuous and coating palate. Sweet.
