Roasty - Malty - Light
A super easy drinking English brown ale. The beer is roasty, toasty, chocolately, and malty — yet light in body and finishes clean. All the flavors you want out of a brown ale. Perfect for Autumn and Winter.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: coffee roastiness, black coffee, toasted nuts, milk chocolate and some dark bread
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to sweet vibe; finishes coffee-ish, some toast and nuts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue
Overall: I would say a nicely done English brown ale worthy of coming back to.

Nitro at Cap Tap. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasty darkish malt with some definite chocolate. Not getting nuts. Med body or so. Flavor is the aroma, except I think there’s a little nut of some kind. Maybe it’s the roastiness messing with me. Nice brown.

On tap at Altamont. It pours a very dark mahogany/brown color with a light tan head. The aroma has a great balance of chocolate, coffee and toasted bread. Nice. The flavor is very toasted with a solid malt profile and hints of coffee and cocoa. Full bodied with a hint of acidity and roasted malt in the finish. The English yeast Altamont uses is perfect for this kind of beer. Great stuff if you like Brown Ales.

Draft. Dark mahogany beer with a dark cream head. Malt and light nutty aroma. Grapefruit and nutty malt flavor with light pine. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and nutty malt lingers with light pine and light caramel.
