This was poured into an English pub glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a thin white to off white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Sly foamy sticky lace.
The aroma takes in crisp sweet grassy and earthy hops. Balancing nutty to caramel to toffee malt levels bounce on into some coffee bean and cocoa rich tones.
The flavor brings it all together nice and balanced, full and smooth. The aftertaste is semi-dry with a crisp nuttiness to it. Quick dry coffee to cocoa-ish finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel all about it. Carbonation runs nice and light.
Overall, nice American styled brown ale. Hops seems to hit just right against the smooth malt bill. Well done and I would have this again.
