I picked this one up on my recent holiday travels (it's not sold in Kentucky). This beer pours out a slightly hazy mahogany color with a nice 1-finger head that quickly dissipates. Very faint nose of fresh bread and cookies.

Taste is spot on for this style. It's mild and has a slightly sweet cola flavor. Cookies greet you up front, then the flavors develop a bit to raisins and cola. There's a nice soft hop bite at the finish; just enough to keep it from tasting like a softdrink. Nicely balanced and has a nice firm mouthfeel.

Overall, a solid brown ale with no objectionable qualities. These beers are always mild and well-behaved and are probably not what most beer fans reach for. However, if you are a fan of this style, don't pass this one up.
