3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
16 oz. can courtesy of Tripplebrew. Used a mug. Deep mahogany color. Lively carbonation with thin, bubbly tan head. Light lace. Nose of roasted nuts and rich caramel. Taste follows with a touch of chocolate. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Medium body. Finishes a bit dry. When warm, touch of hops under the roast. Lots of flavor for a brown. The creamy, roastyness makes it highly drinkable. Ranks up high in the style.

This is my definition of a good any day beer. Crisp and hoppy with a smooth texture and malty finish. Caramel and coffee aromas. On tap at Pizza Luce.

Draft. Dark clear maroon color, thick small beige head, nice lacing. Aroma of chocolate covered caramel. Taste starts with sweetchocolate caramel then transitions to dry roasted coffe grounds at the finish. Very nice.

Poured from the can into a snifter. Brown with a light head. Aroma of caramel, bread, light chocolate notes. Taste is medium sweetness with light hop bittering at the end and finishes with slight notes of vanilla. Quite nice.

Large can, light rich malt aroma. Great rich malty flavor, then bam a great nutty flavor. Nutty finish. Great job.

Canned Unk
A: Pours dark brown with a transient tan foam that dissipates to nearly nothing leaving scattered foam throughout over the clarified beer. Spotty lace. (4)
S: Bread, cereal, coffee, cocoa, hints of grass. Nice subtle hazelnut tone. A little sweet. Nice. (4)
T: Interesting, nice and bready again but with some dry nutty notes and a little bit of a sharp yeasty character. Finish is long and soily. (4)
M: Thin with hi carb (a little too hi) and a dry finish. Would like a little more body or a little less carb to make this a little more palatable. (3)
O: Nice brown ale, can’t wait to try with some coffee in it. Bet it’s the bees knees. (4)
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very dark brown, clear, tan head, ok retention big lacing... decently roasty aroma, with notes of coffee and light chocolate... Slick body, medium to almost medium thin, oily, roast finish, nice big cocoa and coffee flavor, the lack of carbonation is great for the body, the creaminess from the oats plays nicely... very very good brown ale... very quaffable, nice oatmeal brown ale...
