Can from the source. Very dark brown color, clear, beige head with good retention. Nice aroma of nutty brownies. Taste is lightly nutty malty dark chocolate with an espresso edge. Very tasty.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a dark brown color with an off white foamy head. Sustained nicely and fell off at a good pace. Moderate messy lacing.
The aroma started off with some dark and milk chocolate nibs biting at some bitter orange-ish hops. Subtle breadiness revolving around some extra grassy hops, sweetly and bitter. Very nice.
The flavor blends the sweet to the bitter very nicely between the chocolate malts and the orangey hops. Quick semi-sweet to bitter aftertaste roaming into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Hops don’t create too much of a burdensome harshness and the malts seem embraced enough by the hops, so, there’s nothing cloying nor overly harsh on my tongue. Super nice smoothness if anything.
Overall, wonderful American styled brown ale with the hops showcasing enough towards the American side. I would definitely have this again.

On tap into shaker pint glass at Tuckaway Tavern. Aroma is roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel. Appearance is dark brown with trace head/lacing. Taste is as aroma with addition of anise at tail end, restrained sweetness. Palate is medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Overall delicious, restrained sweetness with balance that happens in the background without really realizing it. Nice.
