A soft, supple & subtly-nuanced brown ale crafted from 8 different malts; gently hopped fuggles and saaz hops. Toasty, bready and nutty with suggestions of toffee & nougat; fermented with trappist ale yeast for a touch of dark fruit in the nose.

750ml bottle. Kind of a gusher. Unfiltered brown-burgundy body. Massive off-white head. Thick, malty for the low ABV. Kind of awkward caramel chewy brown malts. Not really that solid of an offering.

Draft at the source. Poured a slightly cloudy brown color with a small, wispy off-white head. Aroma was Light nutella and sweet malts. Flavor was sweet malts, light bitter chocolate. Interesting.

Draft - Malty with some raisin and light cocoa. Clearish copper with a decent beige head. Dark malts and some bitter notes that don’t work.
