Yet again, I disagree.Murky brown.Light peppery nose.Light fruit start,with the pepper taste expanding towards the finish. Interesting

The biggest question of the day wasn’t "where’d they get the idea for this?", it was "since when did Russell make a brown ale?". But I digress. The appearance with kind of unique - muddy light brown with a slight purplish hue. The aroma is really indistinctive - you know there’s things in there but you don’t really know what any of them are. I mean, even the malt is really vague. The flavour is almost as muddled, with yeast and light esters, a slight hint of blackberry, and a little bit of heat at the end, but just a little. Basically to my palate, this is like adding accents to a beer without accents...but comes as off being accents without a base beer at all. Strange.
