From old tasting notes. Reddish brown color. Small beige head. Soft toffeeish malt nose. Sweet chewy toasted malt flavor.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 1/20/2015. Pours slightly cloudy reddish brown color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, light chocolate, plum, apple, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light-moderate fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, light chocolate, light apple/plum, herbal, and yeast toasted earthiness. Light-moderate earthy herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness/chocolate, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and complexity of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light-moderate fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and some light earthy hop astringency lingering after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a nice English brown ale. All around good robustness, balance, and complexity of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light-moderate fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink. If it lacked the hop astringency it would have scored higher. A nicely enjoyable offering.
