It’s an original garrison brew & our darkest offering year-round. From rowdy Barrack Street to the patio’s of today, this style was made for East Coast good times

Location: Draft at Maxwell's Plum, 7/7/13
Aroma: The nose is malty and roasty, some caramel malts, nuts, and some earth
Appearance: It pours a clear reddish-brown color with a light brown head and light lace
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, nutty and a little roasty, mild smoke, and a little earth
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a clean, smooth feel, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was another decent offering from Garrison. It's not a standout and not a bad beer either. This was kind of a theme with the beers I tried from Garrison.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Medium dark brown with beige head. Roasted malt and some nutty (chestnut?) aroma. Caramel malt and chocolate taste with just a hint of nuts and hops mostly on the finish. Medium body.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with a off-white foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of medium sweet caramel malt with light nutty finish. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some well balanced sweet caramel malt with light nuttiness and no discernable hops presence. Body is a bit light with good carbonation. Not bad but not s style that I have any passion for.

Bottle. Dark clear reddish-brown with a medium off-white head. Sweet candyish roast malt aroma, hints of nuts and chocolate, roasty, slightly sour. Taste is sour, roasty and nutshell-bitter. Mouthfeel is bitter and flat, decent body, but a very solid and tasty nutbrown.

Dark reddish brown ale with a thin off-white head, collapsing. Sweet butterscotch and caramelized sugars with signs of oxidation. In mouth, a good sweet nutty malt, and roasted bread. A point of acidity is perceived. A medium bodied and slightly oily mouthfeel. Bought at brewery March 2005.

A brown beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet roasted malty combined with nutty notes. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nuts as well as roasted malt, which gives it a dry end. Nice.

Clear dark brown colour with ruby highlights and a nice light brown head. Aroma of nuts, coffee and caramel. Light-bodied; Nutty flavour with good coffee highlights. Aftertaste very pleasant, no harsh bitterness-just a good sweetness. Overall, nice-thanks Jeremy (jercraigs) for bringing this one! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Ontario.

This Brown ale pours a reddish brown with not much of a head. The scents include roasted malts, sweet molassass, and a slight yeasty doughy scent. Maybe a small amount of alcohol on the nose. First sip is slighly flat. Flavour starts with a roasted brown sugar flavour and moves to almost a burnt coffee. Small amount of smoke flavor too. The finish is thin but flavourfull due to the lack of carbonation. Palate is thick and sweet. Good, better with more carb!

Once of the world's best (during the Shirley Warne era) this beer has not lived up either earlier this year or in August when I was in Halifax. It is nutty, smoothly malty, but has lost the rich earthiness and subtle smoke hint that really set it apart. It's more of a run-of-the-mill brown now. In fact, I find all of all of Garrison's beers have had their formerly well-defined flavours obfuscated now.
