Draught at the brewery, 3/24/18.
Dark mahogany-to-chestnut, clear, with a white head fading quickly to a ring.
After two excellently-done traditional styles (their kolsch and marzen), I was a bit surprised to smell sour-like, lactic, over-exposed malt with beany roast-like character and powdery chocolate.
In the mouth it's lactic and beany, as well with strong roast and bitter, cocoa powder-like notes. Dry, a bit thin and undermalted (base malt). Sourish.

4 oz. draft at the source. The appearance shows me deep brown in color, aroma leans on English yeast influence and mild nutty character. Deep earthy malts, bread, and mineral hints Body is about normal for a brown. Nothing major to report. Drinkable.

A deep dark reddish brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with light mineral notes, grassy hops, OK. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. On tap at Festibière de Gatineau hiver 2018.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a bar pour’s kind of quick burnt white head. Lacing was barely there.
The smell started off with some subtle sweet roasty nuts, leaning towards the hazelnut sort of side and then some subtle sweet cocoa beans/almost a powder like substance slides in for the balance.
The taste pretty much copies the aroma nicely with a sly little dry-like/roasty edge in the aftertaste and roaming on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good all around for a brown ale.
Overall, probably leans towards the English style, still good and I’m pretty sure I’d have again.
