12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours fairly hazy deep reddish copper/brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, nuts, chocolate, cocoa, and coffee; with light notes of toffee, dark fruit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, nuts, chocolate, cocoa, and coffee; with light notes of toffee, dark fruit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, peppery hop; and roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, nuts, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great hop/roast bitter/sweet balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is an excellent English brown ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very clean, rich, and well rounded English malt complexity; with mild fruity yeast and earthy hop balance. A very enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example.

Sample at the Northport location. Cloudy brown color with a medium frothy light beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Short stringy lacing on the glass. Roast malt, chocolate and a bit of hops in the nose. Light-bodied with a sweet chocolate and malt character, with a touch of earthy hops in the background. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
