Draft at some wine bar in VT. Lovely dark pour. Nose is nutty and some chocolate. Tastes much the same little soy umami as well. Smoothbpalate.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: big nutty roasty and toastiness, caramel/toffee malts, some chocolatey tones, mild earthiness
Flavor: mildly sweet through the prior mentioned tones, but eventually gets a bit more balanced with the toastiness and roastiness; semi-nutty and chocolatey aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, finishes nutty, chocolatey and toasty
Overall: very nicely done brown ale, whether it's an English style or American style, I'd still return to this.

Pours a solid dark brown with ruby edges and a good sized tan head that slowly recedes. Chocolate caramel and hints of nut and earth.
