Reviewed from notes.
Crowler to English pint glass.
Appearance: brown in color with a quickly dissipating foamy white head, some concave lace
Aroma: big sweet milk chocolate up front; some sweet wafer tones; roasty nuts, sweet coffee, and light toast
Flavor: mildly sweet initially then a subtle roastiness rides in underneath and becomes part of the balance; mild aftertaste of chocolate, nuts and coffee
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; finishes roasty and smooth
Overall: I got to thinking - I wonder if Big Slide more or less brewed a combo of a brown ale and a porter, if so, well cool stuff then, cuz I'd come back to this.
