Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is crisp rosted malts with with a nice hop. Flaovr is more of the hops than anything. Decent pine and citrus hops with a bit of the chocolate malts toward the end. The brewer was deffinalty going for a hoppy brown ale.

Draft at Downers Grove, English pint glass. Now they call it an "English Brown Ale," and I’m liking this a lot. Opaque, dark brown under a thin scrum of foam that rises up on the edge. Bracing malt smell laced with familiar English hop nose. Taste is beautifully nutty and roasty with strong tea notes. This suggested Fuggles hops (like I know) with some mint around the edges. A slight burn from prickly carbonation, where the alcohol is hiding. Would like to see this on a cask pour.
