Pours a three-fingered bubbly head, fades slowly and leaves a good lace. High carbonation and medium bodied. Cloudy amber color. Nose is cidery. Starts and finishes with a sour cider flavor, not my idea of a brown, it may be off. No expiration date. $1.69 for a 12oz bottle from Super 7-Even Raleigh, NC.

Label Lingo and bottle babble: Attractive tri-labeled packaging (worth $0.00) Brown (duh!) label with gold and green highlights. Back label decries “handcrafted decoction” Dark roasted Euro malts OG 13.0% , 27 EBU. Crystal & Willamette flavoring. Taste clean & delicate.”

Impressive tan khaki spumescent ½” cap slowly whittled down to a thin tight cap atop a dim Crayola Crayon burnt sienna hued copper penny slightly hazed pour. Some head retention thru the brew.

Burnt Eggo waffles.

First Swigs: Bitter metallic but sure a sh*ttin’ nuttiness of walnuts. Burnt pumpernickel. Lactose like suggestions. Butterscotch, guessing diacetyl? Seems like this is stretching for a stout. Metallic (copper penny) funk! Vinegar on lettuce.

Just a soft sudser when all is said is done. Oily in the feel.

Last Swigs: Burnt Wheatsworth crackers. The first beer that had copper penny in the looks and taste dept. My shortest aroma description EVER! This poured well and took a nosedive! Thanks to fellow BA Shapudding for the bottle gift. Sorry it got slagged, somewhat. Needs help.

Beer is good. Happy beering.

Upon its release from the 12-ounce brown bottle the beer sets in the glass deep amber to brown color with a modest frothy light tan head that erodes quickly leaving a thin veil of lace upon the glass. Nose has a nice nutty sweetness, fresh and clean to the senses, with the start sweet and the grain profile adequate, the top light in feel. Finish is modestly acidic and the hops a little light for my taste, aftertaste dry and a decent brown ale.
