Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a rich looking, clear copper color with a small white head. Super delicious malt, crispy, nice light grassy character. Sweet but not too sweet, a little bit of nuttiness.

Brighton draught, 8/19/22. Deep chestnut-raspberry. Good clarity. Beige head is full and lasting. Bright fruits and light minerality with dainty honey behind it. Maybe a touch of caramel but pretty balanced on yeast/malt/hop/water character. Touch of roast as it warms, on the finish. Very clean and well-executed nose. Chewy, richly-malted, fruity and a touch hoppy and roasty. Lingering caramel with a dash of coffee. Great attenuation, good mineral, impeccable balance and great attenuation. Could drink a lot of this.

Can. CW online. Really enjoying these. This one is a hazy, cola brown, with a fine, dense, lightly lacing, lasting, beige head. Looks boss. Nose nuts and caramel. Medium roast malt. Whiff of roasted coffee bean. Some bright hop notes peek through. Taste is sweet and nutty, turning a little ashy, and very light bitter. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Foamy carbonation. Drinks super easy. Dry-ish finish with the caramel thing running throughout. Lovely.

Pours mahogany-tinged dark brown into an English pint. Tan head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Sweet brown bread aromas. Soft with dark caramel and raisin brown bread upfront turning to dry, earthy toast in the medium length finish. Nice.

Dark chestnut. Medium head. Aroma is a bit nutty and with a bit of toffee. Little chewy, toffee, not bad but doesn't get to liquid bread level.
