Deep ruby-red to brown in hue, almost purple in the light, very inviting. Has a decent head with a little staying power but not a lot.

Deep chocolaty notes, with a fair bit of hop and some bite at the end. Honestly, it tastes more like a stout than a brown ale to me. It's a bit dry, but otherwise very satisfying.

In all fairness, I'm not much of a brown ale fan, but this one surprised me. It's richer than I'd expected, good but not the sort of beer I'd want to drink all night. It's probably the sort of thing I'd recommend to try and to enjoy with a steak, or maybe as a one-off after work at the pub.

I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was the color of coca-cola and poured a colored big bubble head. The beer smelled like nougat. It had a rich wonderful taste that was a little sweet but not too bad. It was like a liquid candybar. I will buy again.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Poured at room temp in hotel glass (bought at Trader Joe's)

A: not lively carbonation; thin head, dissipating quickly;
S: caramel, toasted malt--quite pleasant and inviting
T: slightly watery version of a standard brown ale; nutty approach to classic toasted malt; hops give it a grapefruit rind quality

Overall, not bad, esp. as a table beer, but not outstanding
