Bottle: Caramel brown colored pour with a thin beige head. Mild aroma is earthy, nutty, and sweet. Good malty presence in the taste; earthy, chocolate, faint roast... a little more nuttiness. Easy sipper and not a bad session beer at all.

Bottle: A dark, leathery brown pour with a smaller tan head. Nose is malty and a bit grassey. A light amount of chocoalte is picked up. Taste is filled with maltiness, nutty, light chocolate, and a little bitters in the tail. Eh...

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours very dark amber with a 1 finger beige/tan head. Aroma is very sweet malt - suggesting chocolate and treacle. Cookies! Near full bodied. Flavor is definitely chocolate, and I’d say treacle. There’s a fair dose of hop, but it’s hard to defined. Not a sticky beer, but it finishes more sweet than dry. What happens in the finish seems complex to me. It twists my mouth around in flavors. I suggest you try this one.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Dark reddish amber pour with a good beige head. Smells like caramel and hop. Medium plus body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is roast caramel and maybe citrus or floral hop. It’s sweet but not too so. Comes across more of an amber than a brown. It’s pretty smooth and not at all harsh. Good drink.

On tap at The Taphouse, pours dark brown with an amber tinge. Aroma of nuts and caramel malt. Flavour of brown sugar, nuts, toasted malt and toffee. Not bad.

I presume it doesn’t shock you that I’ve visited this brewery. Well, when I did I had this beer but the carbonation was screwy. The brewer apologized and I swore I wouldn’t write about it. It tasted funny and I told him it wasn’t my bag, but I’d give the bottles a go anyway. And that’s what I’ve done.
It’s a bright chestnut brown colour. There’s a rich nutty aroma with a slight woodiness. The palate is fairly dry - Mr. Quilter does seem to love his hops - with woody, nutty overtones. It’s only mildly sweet, definitely on the dry side of the style. The yeast is pretty clean, but there is a reasonable amount of malt complexity. The body is fairly light, almost like a mild. It’s a straightforward brown, but complex enough to hold my interest. And yeah, the carbonation makes a big difference.
