From 11/1/12 Tasting Notes...
Enjoyed on tap at Monk's Bar and Grill. Served in a pint glass, pretty much ice cold.

A) Chestnut brown in color. There was not much head. A thin collar remained. There was a bit of lacing on the pint.

S) Had to let warm up a bit, as the aroma was muted by the temperature initially. This had a nice darker malt scent, light roast, quite nutty, with a little Heath Bar.

T) Follows the nose, with plenty of toasted malt, good amount of nutty flavor, a little toffee, and nice earthy hops. Good aftertaste...

M) Medium body with light to moderate carbonation. Finishes a little dry, but really very smooth with very good drinkability.

O) Solid brown ale. Truthfully, it really hit the spot ice cold. Then with some warmth, proved to have all the characteristics I look for in the style. Glad to recommend...

Paired with the Monster Burger and sweet potato fries.

Serving type: on-tap
