Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear deep amber brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has bread and light dark grains with a hint of straw underlying. Flavor has light roast and breads with a bit of dark grains.

Pours murky brown. Aroma has some hops, some malt. A little lacing. Medium carbonation. Some bitterness in taste. Tap at Hopcat.

Draught. Dark, greyish brown. Cloudy. Has a small diminishing off white head. Moderate aroma of malt and brown bread. I was blown away by this. Not your average light bodied nutty sweet ale. This had a definite hops flavor hitting you right away, there was a medium bitter chocolate malt flavor throughout. The beer had plenty of body and had no carbonation problems. The hops flavor mixed perfectly with the malt and this beer was the epitome of balance for this style. Finishes dry, as was said below, which is a nice change, as usually these browns brewed in america are either too sweet on the finish or just thin out and die. This did neither. There were clear defined hops and malt, like a perfect amber ale, but there was also a soft nutty appeal, like walnut pancakes with a tinge of chocolate. To balance this, there was a peculiar and intriguing tobacco flavor that was daring but lovely. Almost would not even guess this to be a brown. Could pass for a light porter if it had more malt. Magnificent. I can see why this has won so many medals.
