Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a fairly dark brown color with a semi-foamy off white little head. Not much lace, somewhat stringy.
The aroma had some cocoa powder, dried nuts, light earthiness and a subtle leafy dryness.
The flavor was moderately sweet pulling some faint leather-like sweet tones in and sliding over my tastebuds in a decent way. Not much aftertaste but had a little bit of a sly earthy to leather to cocoa powder finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a sessionability that made me re-think what that term really meant. I mean, well, the dryness and the leather in this one was somewhat hard to really to want to pound this one. And I would think given the ABV that this one would be fairly crushable.
Overall, as a brown ale fan, I’m not entirely sure this is a brown ale that I can have all of the time. Maybe.....

Draught @ Albion. Dark brown with faint reddish tint, small frothy beige head, cocoa aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish cocoa taste, thin body, abrupt finish. Quite watery and the cocoa has not really settled in. 2.2.2016 Tried this once more. This batch was much smoother and nice to drink.
