Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was soft milky brown color with a sly transparency about it. Finger’s worth of level white head sat atop of my glass. Slowly died off leaving some messy lace.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee malts up front with a touch of dark fruits (raisins, I’m guessing) then some sweet oats with a little bit of spice as it ends.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side with an ample amount of the spice trying to balance it, but mainly sat further in the back. Nice mostly sweet aftertaste to follow into the finish.
The feel was almost medium bodied, seemed it sat just a tad under. The malts don’t cave under the pressure of the spice, but seemed to gently allow a light harshness along my tongue - mostly smooth beer. ABV and carbonation felt fine.
Overall, really nice brown ale almost like drinking an oatmeal cookie. Only thing I had to question myself, was that really cinnamon? They say they put it in this beer, but there’s some little spice in this one.
