Cabin Fever may be listed as an American Brown, but everything about this thick and creamy brew screams Winter Warmer (except maybe the abv).

On tap at ITAP, came out dark and opaque in the standard shaker pint. Not much tan head on the first pint, but the second pint had a good inch on top.

Big aromas of dark fruit like plum, spice and herb. Quaff added a nice toasty nut, with hints of coffee and toffee mixed among the strong malt backbone. A nice raspy hop finish inspired me for that second pint.

Rich, malty, and tasty with no alcohol bite to be found. Man, was this a good brew on tap. I look forward to another pull of this bad boy.

Serving type: on-tap

Translucent, chocolate color with descent head on the pour. Fairly weak retention but followed by some lacing on the glass. Non-specific grainy aroma. Flavor of wheat bread, maple sweetness, dark fruits, earthy hops with descent balance. Medium bodied and well carbonated, smooth feel with some grainy texture. Descent brown ale. Par for the course.

Great brown ale that is very tasty. Aroma has dark chocolate and coffee notes that are something less common in the beers i tend to drink. The caramel malts are very noticeable on the first few tastes of beer. The creamy mouthfeel will coat your tongue. very long after taste that is balanced and pleasant. The brown ale is best served with heavier foods.s
