Growler share with Henry.
Treated as an imperial style, we both opted for snifters.
The appearance was a fairly dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off at a gentle pace. Mild lace.
The aroma had pecan/walnut sweet and roasty qualities over top of a subtle dark chocolate and some sweet oats. Smooth sweet leather and tree bark round it out with a touch of earthy to grassy hop bitterness subtleties.
The flavor took the prior mentioned aromas to boot - superior sweet to roastiness flowing over the nuts. Semi-sticky sweet to roasty aftertaste riding into the finish.
The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt low but acceptable. ABV felt as projected by the brewer.
Overall, pretty damn good imperial brown ale that I could have again.

Draft at the brew pub on 6 Nov, 2014. Deep brown that light does not penetrate. Head is foamy and lasting. Aroma is walnuts, praline, earthy hints and toasted grains, when warm the aroma is nice.
Flavor up front shows toffee, roasted nuts, finishing with subtle hopping that gives a mild pine and earth note. The hops provide balance that helps divide the sweetness. Medium in body with normal level of Co2. Nice, drinkable Brown.
