A flagship brewer of Ales in Texas whose quality continues to rise.

Nice sweet malt overtones, bits of molasses and a slightly dry finish
to boot. I recommend having it on the warm side and waiting 2 weeks to
drink the beer if the first beer of the six-pack is a little aggressive
at the start.

This is good session ale regardless of the weather.

Very dark brown, not quite Porter dark in the pint shaker. Watery mouthful in a nice way. Sweet and malty but full of roasted flavors. Returns to the usual caramel taste, but pleasantly different. A bit fruity, like sweet apples, with a faint burr of the dirty sort of hops. Tends toward a mucky aftertaste.

On the whole this is better than some Brown Ales I've had, but for the English style it's nothing to brag about. On tap at Cricket's in Lubbock. [From notes overlooked after 11/07/2012 tasting]

Serving type: on-tap
