Olympia draught, 2/14/24. Clear dark amber. Small, beige head to rocky cover. Roast, toast, maple, caramel! Roast, toast, maple, caramel! Nice body here and good attenuation with up front maltiness and lingering brown sugar, toasted malt, base malt and clean yeast. Civil Life appears to make an excellent beer. Peter Hale is the only one on this damned site that knows how to rate.

Taster pour on tap at Tapped, Maplewood. Appearance is weird pour--almost all head, 3 fingers, beige--clear brown, no discernible sparkle, trace lacing. Aroma is difficult due to the size of the head but some caramel and nut. Taste is subtle earth, bready malt, light chocolate. subtle. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, frothy carbonation, finish as taste. Overall, aroma and flavor are subtle and not complex. Fair. I think the taps are set too carbonated today. 3.5 3.6

12oz can. Unfiltered burgundy-brown body. Foamy, steady, beige head. Medium bodied, very true to style. Sweet, some serious malt depth. Pretty straight down the middle. Well executed.

Keg st BB’s - St. Louis. Pours mostly clear brown with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma holds lightly toasty brown bread, chocolate malts, faint roast. Medium sweet flavor with nice brown bread character, impressions of cocoa, mellow earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Great balance on the finish, with further toasty cocoa, some earthy bitterness, dried berries, faint burnt toffee. Overall, a very tasty and accessible brown ale.

On tap at Burger Tap Shake at Washington Circle, pours a murky dark orange with some creamy, white head. Nose is OK, gristy, some bread crust, a little brown sugar, some yeast, a little vinous hop. Flavor is fine, a bit hoppier than a standard brown with some lemon and a little soap, but then mostly malt, a little whole wheat flour, bread crust, mild dough. Dry finish. Just OK.
