22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/10/2014. Pours hazy deep reddish brown color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate, light roast, light nuttiness, raisin, prune, herbal, and toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate, light nuttiness, light roast, raisin, prune, herbal, and toast/roasted earthiness. Light earthy hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toast, brown bread, brown sugar, light chocolate/roast/nuttiness, raisin, prune, herbal, and toast/roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a smooth and fairly slick/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice brown ale. Good balance and robustness of dark/roasted malt and burnt caramel flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A bit one dimensional, but nicely enjoyable.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Tan head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Chocolate and caramel aromas. Soft with dark caramel and toasted nuts front to back and into the sweet toffee finish.

On tap at the Yard House, Houston. A chestnut colored beer with a minimal sized beige head. The aroma has roasted malts, dark bread, some dried fruits and quite a lot of caramel. It’s full bodied and quite soft on the palate, with caramel the dominating flavor. It’s sweet, but not cloying, a little bitterness is present too. Lasting caramel finish with some roasted notes and nuts. Pretty pleasant this one, but still a tad boring. 140514
