A: Dark brown body and a good-sized tan head.
S: Not too much smell. Some caramel and some malts, separately though. The maltiness is relatively strong, just none of the flavors are too pronounced.
T: Great for the first few sips. Actually tried a sip of a friends who didn't like it and decided to get one for myself. After the first few sips it gets kind of boring and dull. Good dose of nuttiness, but prefer this in conjunction with some sweetness. Other taste is pretty woody.
M: Good for the style, not too heavy but still a good dark brown ale.
D: The body is fine, the flavor, however, would make this not the best brown ale I've had in terms of drinkability.

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.
