Bottle received as an extra in a trade from RReagan. Thanks Man!

Appearance: Brown with a ruby tinge and a beige head that quickly dissolves.

Smell: A very nice display of balanced malts, roasted grains, honey/caramel, with some hops.

Taste: A touch of sweetness and hops are the glue that hold together this roasted gem. I like how the bitterness of the hops and the caramel type sweetness meld. Very nice!

Mouthfeel: standard medium body that the style usually produces.

Drinkability: This is a very drinkable brown that I will return to.

Serving type: bottle

Pours copper brown with light haze and a stubborn, full head of foam. Lace coats the glass. Nose is sweet toasted malt, toffee, nutty with a touch of chocolate. Has some herbal hops in back, lightly fruity that give a touch of earth. Taste is rich malt and lightly sweet. Velvety smooth and buttery biscuit with subtle, herbal dark fruits. Hops show up mid palate with some bitter, fade quickly and the malt opens up with some roast and coffee. There’s a malt dryness and a slight alcohol dryness that’s stately yet devil may care. Aftertaste is lightly sweet and bready. This is a very original brown ale with a rousing and robust malt character. Fantastic.
