Can (5/9/24) from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Dark brown/mahogany with small head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is hint of fruit, mild cinnamon over weak caramel malt, vague nut and cardboard. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Base brown ale seems to be obscured, rather than highlighted, by other aromas/flavors. Appreciate the new brewery tick but this one is confused and confusing.

Draft at hotel bar excited or another new brewery tick. Muddled brown minimal head. Not most appealing looking. Nose is some earth and chocolate but mostly nada. Tastes watery, some walnut, cocoa, earth, cardboard. Semi sweet. Eh

Pour is a dark brown almost black with a small mocha head. Aroma is a decent roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is more roasted malt and bitter bakers chocolate. Super thin body for a brown ale and the finish has a decent bitter kick. Pretty good brown ale that does not end up being heavy and filling.
