This brown ale poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, bread colour. Medium lacing. Scents include caramel, a little coffee and wood. First swig was smooth and rich with delicious flavours of caramel malt, a little coffee and oak? Finish is nice and roasty with a little smoke and malt flavours lingering. Delicious and I hope they continue to have it. Must have pulled out of retirement since this one was purchased at the brewery.

Part of their mixed 6-pack (I guess it is back in production after 10 years) Pours a clean, deeper amber colour with a big creamy-frothy beige head, good retention and loads of thick creamy lacing. Aromas of fruity malts, nuttiness, roastiness and some wood hints (which I got in their IPA - looks like from the hop they use). The taste has the same as in the nose. The hops are better blended than their IPA, with the same dry finish. Nothing special, but an easy-drinking brown ale.
