Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was more of an amber color with a slight transparency about it. Little white foamy head fell off at a decent pace. Not much lace, somewhat stringy and sliding into the beer.
The aroma had some earth, grass, bread and cocoa powder.
The flavor was basically the same - somewhat sweet with a decent dryness to it. Light toast-like aftertaste and finish.
The feel was about light bodied with a pretty good sessionable sort of feel about it. Sturdy carbonation and the ABV felt right.
Overall, good brown ale worthy of coming back to.

Tap at the brewpub - Amherst. Pours clear amber with a light, foamy head. OK beer, some brown bread, faint cocoa, dirt. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, some lightly toasted bread, hints of coffee and cocoa, toasted leaves. So so.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A red-brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet roasted combined with notes of over ripe fruits and prunes. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of prunes and malt, but also very slight notes of roastiness, and a slightly bitter end.

On draught Feb 2005. Dark mahogany brown color with a light yellow head, mostly disipating. Somewhat transluscent, not terribly filtered looking. Aroma is light, of sweet brown malts, light yeast and earthiness. Flavor is decidedly British and reminds me of Newcastle. Simple, lightly fruity characteristics, with no hops profile and a medium body. A bit of sticky caramel on the end, with low to moderate carbonation. By the books English brown. The yeast really grabs you in this one, but there is some strange, earthy-dirtiness that muddles the flavor and does not work with the lightly sour yeast.
