A: Poured a dark cola/brown with a thin quickly dissipating creamy tan head.
S: Not much on the nose , a very soft nuttiness.
T: For flavor there was a semi-sweet roasted malt palate with light floral hoppiness.
M: thin, watery and very slick on the tongue, perhaps a tad overcarbonated.
D: An easy drinking brown but doesn't impress. A drink and not think type of beer that doesn't intrique. Much better examples out there.

Brown pour, lighter brown head, 1/2". Aroma had some brown malt, but not much else going for it.
Above average hops, but not blowing out the style guidelines either. Tea, toffee, caramel, nuts. Smooth.
Good beer, but you know how this brown ale style goes. . .

Very light, and a distinct hop flavor, albeit mild, balances the malt and provides a crisp finish.
