Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a milky brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet caramel/toffee malts up front playing with some light cinnamon spice and earthiness. Light bready/pie crust/somewhat like biscuits.
The flavor blended the sweet to the spice fairly nice and added the bready/bun-like/biscuit sort of taste to it fairly nice. Aftertaste was sweet with the malts and had some light cinnamon. Finish was quick, somewhat sweet.
The feel was almost a medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt good. Spice seemed to balance the sweetness to pull down any possible cloying effects on my tongue.
Overall, it’s like drinking a cinnamon bun. Who said drinking brown ales aren’t fun? Ha, drink this, we’ll see what you have to say about brown ales then.
