On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep brown with a slight amber hue and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a rich mocha note backed by dark grains and a hint of roasted malts. Flavor has a similar strong mocha note with a dark grain backbone.

How in the world is this a brown ale? It looks like a stout, smells like a stout and tastes like a stout. This beer fits perfectly in the sweet stout category. It has a strong coffee aroma and some chocolate as well. Flavor has the same qualities, but the coffee seems less fresh giving the beer some cold, stale coffee flavor. But it works for this beer. This is the smoothest coffee beer I have had at Town Hall, and these guys make a few of them. Black, medium sized but thin tan colored head.
