Got this at the beer store in Nashua. Yes, its brown fer sure. Dark brown. Nice creamy head. Smell of J&L slag on blast-furnace night in Aliquippa while watch a movie at ABC drive in. I see tis 4.3% and I like that. One of the better brown ales I’ve come in contact with. Goes down easy, yes. Has a personality but its never in yer face, good job.

Purchased on a trip to Vermont in a small convenient store. Lots of carbonation creating a light overflow, and a big creamy-frothy beige head that stays very long. The brew is a deep amber colour and gives out aromas of apples at first pour. Then, nutty yeast appears. Fruity malt taste with light yeast and some decent hops. Good, but not my thing.

Bottlw at home in CT - thanks to brother Charlie. Pours clearish brown with a foamy tan head. Very basic brown bread nose with suggestions of berry fruits. Light to medium sweet flavor with some cigarette butts, more brown bread, toasted leaves. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with toasted brown bread, hints of burnt caramel, light earth and leaves. Actually a decent, tasty brown.

Into a pint glass, it leaves a brown colored body, two finger white foamy head quickly dies and leaves spider web lacing; the smell has malts, toffee, light nuttiness, light honey, the taste is malty and sweet, nutty aftertaste and a quick sweet almost dry finish; the palate was light to medium, very sessionable, gets creamy and smooth; overall, this is pretty good for an English Brown Ale, I recommend if you like the style

Pours a dark clear reddish brown color with a huge bubbly tan head that slowly recedes before leaving some spotty lace on the way down. Smells of caramel and brown sugar with a hint of tart fruit, earth, roast and butter. The flavor is heavy on the caramel and butterscotch with an earthy hop bite that provides some balance. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a creamy bubbly mouthfeel. So far this is the only brew I’ve had where I feel the diacytyl actually adds something to the beer. This is probably my favorite beer from Woodstock, but its still just an average beer.

12 ounce bottle from Nikki’s Liquors, Providence. Pours a clear dark brown color with a large tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of faint nutty notes. That’s it. The taste is sweet caramel malts, stone fruits, faint nuts, floral hops. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.

Light to medium brown. Medium body. Lightly nutty, sweet malty nose. Flavor is nutty, sweet malts, a hint if chocolate, and some biscuit malt. Easy going.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear brown with a beige head. Malty aroma with caramel, nuts and chocolate. Sweet flavor, a bit sugary, with caramel, nutty malt, bread notes (a bit toasty), a sourish touch and a dry finish, a bit metallic. Light-medium-bodied, a bit over-carbonated. So-so.

This beer is made nearby. I paid $2.00 for a single bottle at a nearby store. Poured into a Dogfish Head Glass.
A - Poured an almost watery brown color. More like dirty water. Nothing too impressive. Head was half a finger and went away almost instantly.
S - Hmmm. Nutty malts, roasted malts, little hop characters and some bread / earthy yeast
T - Interesting taste. Maple Syrup, earthiness, bread and pepper. I’m getting maybe figs or raisins but nothing too complex. Very simple flavors. Sweeter than expected.
M - Lively carbonation, light bodied, not much linger.
O - It’s a decent beer. Sure, support local breweries and so i am but nothing too amazing about this beer. it’s very drinkable and tasty but not like WHOA this is revolutionary.
