Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Media City. Deep amber with an extremely thin head. There's a deep sweetness to it hops, with a hint of chocolate in its nose. Not a classic brown ale in style, but it works well enough.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a dark hazy brown color with a one finger off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Nice foamy speckled lacing lingers at a nice pace down the sides of the glass.
The aroma smelled like Christmas as there was a nice multitude of ginger, allspice, cinnamon, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, light marshmallow, vanilla, light pumpkin all combined wonderfully in a very inviting sort of way.
The taste followed the nose with the chocolates really coming out on top.
On the palate, this one sat right about a medium in body. Sessionable? Not really, as I found myself sipping this more. The carbonation was extremely smooth but not watery.
Overall, wow, I’ve always loved this brown ale as an early winter beer (Christmas), I look forward to the holidays whenever I think of this beer.
