On tap at the Lititz location.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy semi-dark brown color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white to off white foamy head that dissipated and barely left any lacing.
The smell had a decent amount of light roasted nuts a super light caramel malts.
The taste was mainly malty sweet with a long glazed over caramel nutty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat smooth as it allowed a gentle rolling nuttiness over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good American Brown Ale. The hops seemed pretty subdued but I’m okay with that.

Tap at Appalachian, Collegeville, 29/11/13. Dark mahogony brown. Nose is caramel, brown sugars, dark malt notes, pinch of cocoa powder. Taste comprises cake mix, brown sugar, dark toffee fudge. Medium body, fine carbonation, dry finale with a sweet note or two. So - so, drinkable and representative of a dull style in my opinion - others are of course are available !

A deep reddish copper ale with a thick moka head. In aroma, again, that meaty herbal aroma, with light roasted malts. In mouth, a nutty malt with herbal hops, lingering, light bitterness, overall, not bad. On tap at PA Flavor, April 9th, 2011.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small tan head that faded quickly. The aroma was faint vague fruits and toasty malts with a hint of caramel. The flavor was tangy, butter and a bit toasty with faint nut and caramel underneath. The finish was long, bitter and tangy. Medium body. Eh.

Clear brown coloured body with a nice ruby tint and a thin tan head with large bubbles. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, brown sugar and a very mild yeast scent. Light-bodied; Some maltiness and a lot of peanuts and pecans soon after the sip. Aftertaste shows a light-bodied beer with a nutty and slightly bitter flavour with no body and no complexity. Overall, not such a great beer - a touch of sweetness and nuts, but way too watery and no complexity at all make for an uninspired beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Market Cellars in Reston, Virginia on 11-December-2010 sampled at home in Washington on 10-January-2011.
