Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a one and a half to two finger eggshell white foamy head which settled off to some light lace
Aroma: roasted nuts, toasted malts, nice coffee, undertones, cocoa powder, and some tree bark
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together fairly sweet with some toasty and roasty backings, nice aftertaste of the cocoa powder and roasted nuts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness along tongue; finishes dry, roasty and nutty
Overall: I say nice English brown ale I would have again.

Draught at Spotty Dog: pours brown with beige head. Aroma is nutty and caramel. Taste is lightly sweet, malty, low bitterness. Not bad.
