Pours reddish amber with a thick white head. Heavy malt and spice aroma. Tastes like malt. Palate has nutmeg and cloves. Weak beer, watery aftertaste. Disappointing show, assumed thimble island made better beers than this.

12 oz bottle, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma smells more English than anything, with toasted caramel, English bready malt and subdued hops. Flavour is pretty flat, with bready and toasted caramel malt. Light on the hops. Not good.

12oz bottle shared by Berko. It just smells and tastes like dusty and rag water. It's not good.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 3/28/15
Aroma: The nose is caramel and earth, with some metallic notes.
Appearance: It pours a clear amber color with an off white head.
Flavor: Polio flavor, leans sweet, but with a light bitterness.
Palate: The body is light-medium, easy enough drinkability, lightly dry.
Overall Impression: Solid enough approachable amber (not brown) ale. Makes sense as a gateway to craft beer, but not super interesting for a craft offering. (Cleaning up the rating, I have no idea what auto-corrected to "Polio" in my flavor description, but I think I'll just leave it, it's too weird to fix.)

Bottle late night while doing some reading. Pours copper with decent head. Nose is caramel and some herbal. Tastes of caramel, floral, sage, spicy pepper, and toast. Juicy palate. Not a brown ale but a fine beverage.
