Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: maple syrup, earthy tones then a sweeter side to the earthy tones, toasted nuts and some caramel/tofffe malts
Flavor: seems to try to balance the prior noted aromas however I believe this beer ends up leaning towards the sweet side then finishes with the maple syrup and a touch of smoke
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done brown ale I would want to have again.

16 ounce can. Hazy reddish brown color. Large frothy tan head. Sweet toasted malt hints at caramel. Flavor upfront is quite sweet. Notes of caramel, maple syrup, tree bark and a hint of nuttiness. Some bitterness on backend. Interesting.

Draught @ Milk & Hops - Astor Place. Dark brown with faint reddish tint against the light, creamy beige head, roasted malt aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter roasted malt taste, smooth thin body, long finish. Good brew, smooth and well rounded.
