Grey Lodge Pub, Philadelphia tap: pours copper with a small white head. Aroma is nutmeg, butterscotch, malt, and other spice. Taste is spicy with small butterscotch and vanilla notes. Perfectly drinkable, but this is really not an exciting style.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 5/2014. Pours lightly cloudy ruby red color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toast, biscuit, brown bread, light toffee, light chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, light vanilla, herbal, and toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and spice notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, brown bread, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, light chocolate, herbal, and toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, brown bread, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, light chocolate, herbal, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and robustness of dark/bready malt and spice flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a moderately creamy and very smooth mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice spiced brown ale. All around good balance and robustness of dark/bready malt and spice flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Clear dark amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, vanilla and spices. Medium body with flavors of sweet spices, bready malt and slight fruit. The finish is sweet with a short chocolate malt and spice aftertaste. Just average overall.

On tap at the 1 for the road. Nearl dark and cloudy brown, looks like a dark hefe. No real apparent aroma, just muted and clean. First taste is weird and unique initial flavors of leather and perhaps silly vanilla. Odd spices in there fer sure; don’t know how to describe it. No co2 in this stuff. YEs, particular spices are upfront here. Somewhat medicinal on the finish but personality never really goes over the top.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub in Irwin this beer poured a very dark brown color with a small beige head that faded quickly. The aroma was dryish and nutty with a faint vague spicy undertone. The flavor was dryish and nutty with notes of caramel, vague spices, faint floral hosp and a bit of tobacco. The finish was long and dryish with some caramel, molasses and spice lingering. Medium body.
