Rich, Dark & Malty.
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

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a mug.
Thanks Fred.
The appearance was a fairly good dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a light lacing trickling along the glass.
The smell had a nice roasty to sweet blend of nuttiness to caramel malts.
The taste was a roasty sweet rolling nuttiness with a light caramel and toffee blend.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability. It seemed extremely well carbonated for the style as it came across fairly smooth.
Overall, hey...uh, nice brown ale I’d have again.

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!
