Draft sample at Bière et Saveur 09.09.04 : Brown in color sparing white head with soft carbonation. Light caramel and nutty note can be found in this beer with a thin body. Almost not hop presence. Made to be easy drink and this one surely is.

My Bottom Line:
This creamy and chocolatey Brown Ale expands its flavor profile into earthy and nutty angles, providing a sweet but friendly pint.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam coats the dark brown.
-This is as drinkable as their other two beers.
-Note that the brewer here is not aiming for any specific style; in this case, the beer is not supposed to be an exact replica of an English Brown Ale.
-Fruity esters suffuse the flavor profile.
-Cascade hops are supposedly used in this one, but I must say they are pretty shy throughout, mostly peeking through the finish.
On tap at the brewpub.
