Poured from a bottle into a schooner. Brewing date of 5/4/11.

A - deep brown, clear, small tan head less than a finger height tall and which dissipates aftre a minute. Lots of obvious carbonation in the glass. Really looks tasty!

S - fresh bready malt on the nose with just a hint of sweet caramel.

T - hint of initial bitterness makes way for a delightful caramel and licorice malt. Really well balanced with just enough bitterness to offset the sweet malts. Taste lingers for ages on the back of the tongue.

M - slightly thick with lots of velvety carbonation. The alcohol is hidden well.

D - super drinkable and simply deliciious. Deadly!

Overall is this is a tremendously well balanced and pleasing brown ale. More subdued than the Palo Santo Marron but definitely with a great character all it's own. I would love to drink this again. Great beer.
