The brew poured with a thick two finger, tan head that dissipated pretty slowly. It left a lot of pretty lacing on the glass. The body poured a beautiful deep brown with lots of active visible carbonation. The nose had a lot of nuttiness on it…I’m going with hazelnuts. Maybe even a hint of maple? Although I’m a total hop head, this smells like fall to me. On first sip, I’m impressed with how good of a brown ale this was. It had the nuttiness that was apparent in the nose, coupled with sweet malt, and then a minor hint of bitterness. All the flavors work together in concert. The body was on the thinner side with moderate carbonation making it an easy beer to throw down after raking leaves or some other appropriate fall activity. The finish was quick with some bitterness to it, albeit mild. To me, this is a great session beer for the fall and I could see drinking it while sitting by a firepit. This will definitely be a seasonal go-to brew.
