Could be classified as an old ale. Right color and characteristics. Brown and clear, small ring of a beige head. Nutty, roasty aroma, Taste is roast grain bitterness, with some nice nutty flavor on the finish.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours brown with a fizzy/foamy light tan head. Aroma is slightly roasty malt and floral. Actually makes me think of cola. Med body. Flavor is slightly roasty malt and mostly floral. It’s not truly dry, but it’s not very sweet. Flavor is still sort of towards cola, with a light touch of chocolate and some light stone fruit. And floral. Best part, perhaps, it’s a brown with very little, if any, greasy nuttiness. And then I found it. Still, it’s well integrated. Gonna drink it.

Light brown, sweetish, not much taste, just a little brown sugar, touch of caramel, bit thin. Bottom line: If I was locked in a hotel room and fed this for 15 years, I’d definitely want to kill some people.

Nice brown ale. Some but and pronounced roast malt. Pours dark couldn’t brown with great head and lacing. Soft carbonation. Slightly sour finish. Touch of hops as well. Tap at volos.

Last one from their "Un-paralleled Mixed Pack" from the LCBO. Pours a brown colour with ruby highlights. The head is beige, frothy, medium, has good retention, but not much lacing. Decent nutty aromas with notes of roasted malts, caramel and light fruits. Watery mouthfeel and the taste seems to follow that way. A bit of malt, very lightly nutty and with hop that does not go the best with the rest. Goes down OK, with a good nose, but the rest is kind of deceiving.
