Draft at Beerhead Novi. Pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Toasted malt, caramel and light coffee aromas. Palate is similar with a nutty note underneath. Balanced finish.

Thanks Jake for sending!
Poured into mug, the appearance was a dark brown color with a thick foamy eggshell white two finger head. Sturdy clingy lace.
The aroma had a ton of roasted malts bold and up front with milk chocolate and a light coffee backbone. Some hazelnuttiness (is that a word?, well, I just made it up) even lighter.
The flavor leads with the balance of roast to sweet flowing in between each other. Sly nutty aftertaste rubbing against the finish, which was somewhat smooth but nice.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Nice smooth feel along my tongue, still, some abrasive graininess seems to brush against my tongue as well, if anything really nice balance.
Overall, now that’s a really great brown ale, makes me want to move back to Michigan. Now if only my state could actually do some more brown ales.
