Appears a dark mahogany brown with a light tan head that slowly fades away into a mild cap.
Smell is of toasted nuts. Multigrain bread, and a touch of cocoa powder. Very hearty and upfront.
Taste is of the aromas with a doughy bread and nuttiness pulling forward.
Mouthfeel is even bodied, den drinking, and outright delicious in the swallow.

Serving type: on-tap

A - A very dark brown with mild ruby hues. Head is excellent with a 1/2 inch of tan colored head that sticks around forever.
S - Quite mild but everything I expected is there. Toasted malts, hazelnuts, chocolate malt, brown malts, and a touch of brown sugar.
T - Brown malt and chocolate malt hit first with a bit of toasted bread. Very strong for such a light ABV. I do like how it's not overly sweet with sugar malts making it very drinkable.
M - Medium bodied, somewhat creamy, has a nice bite to it.

Overall a very smooth tasty brown ale with a great session-able ABV and constant flavors.

Picked up a bomber from Total Wine last weekend for $5.99. Nice to see it is being bottled as this was one of the Alesmith brews i wanted to try for a long time now.

Beer poured brown with a nice tan head that is hanging around pretty well.

Nose is malty, earthy, with hints of chocolate.

Taste is well balanced, chocolate malts, hints of molasses, and west coast hops with a dry hop finish.

Mouthfeel is very good for the style, medium bodied and very smooth.

Overall this brew is everything i hoped it would be, a flavorful sessionable brew, perfect for watching a final four game!
