Deep dark brown coloured body with a tan head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of nuts, earth, dirt, light peat and a good deal of caramelised sugars. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty flavours at first show through the earthy malts and light grass notes along with a moderate amount of sweetness and a touch of fruit (grapes, prunes and figs) at the tail end. Aftertaste shows much more of the malt and earthy notes with quite a bit of bread and yeastie flavours and only a touch of grainy flavours with the nuts still showing through the strongest with only a little honey sweetness on the edges to battle the earthy bitterness. Overall, a pretty standard brown ale without much complexity or depth here - this is a relatively straight-forward beer that doesn't veer from the style, but doesn't give anything too nice either. Decent to try from the state and brewery and nice to have in the format! I sampled this thirty-two ounce crowler fill from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 13-March-2018 for US$8,00 sampled at home back on the other side of the country in Washington on 23-March-2018.

Draft. A- Caramel, bland. A- Dark copper color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Caramel, slightly nutty, mild cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- I took this as their Firm Grip brown ale on steroids. Honestly, it was pretty boring and didn’t offer much excitement. Not full bodied as I expected. Okay.
