A: Poured ruby-brown with a slightly off-white, big bubbled, 1/2-finger head that flattened very quickly. Small bubbles rise for awhile.

S: Smelled like a Brown Ale should, predominantly of malt -- brown sugar, caramel and a hint of toffee or butterscotch. Nice.

T: Like the nose, sweet caramel malt up front, then a nutty taste is followed by bitterness on the otherwise slightly grainy aftertaste. Good.

M: Pretty creamy, medium carbonation. Again, what I expect from a Brown Ale.

D: Nicely drinkable. While I'm generally more of a hophead, I've been known to session Newcastle Brown Ale and I could see myself doing the same with Ellie's.

Note: the first time I had this beer I wasn't that impressed. This is probably my 3rd or 4th sampling of it, and tonight when I sat down to it my expectations were pretty low based on my recollection. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this beer as much as I did.
