Growler share with Doug and Henry.
My portion was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white to eggshell white foamy head. Moderate light lace.
The aroma had some soft sweet nuts with a nice caramel/toffee malt base. Light grassy and citrusy hops play with the balance.
The flavor yielded to the malts initially and then softly brought in some of the bitterness from the hops. Mostly malty sort of aftertaste flowing into the finish, somewhat.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Decent little hoppiness absorbing some of the malty affair as it shows a nice crisp carbonation penetrating against the texture. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nicely done brown ale worthy of having again, almost imperial, but throughout my glass, alcohol seemed controlled quite well.
