Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a clear mahogany brown colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The modest aroma is steeped in a blend of fruity esters, roasted malts, a bit of nuttiness and then chocolate to burnt malts into the end of the draw. The taste follows suit as I get murmurs of sweet dark fruity esters flowing into nutty malts, earthy malts and growing dark roasted malts. Another swig reveals a layer of chocolate malts and dark roasted coffee. Solid Brown

Definitely nutty, toasty, lots of classic brown ale vibes, clean tight finish, caramely.

Pour is a dark brown almost black with a small thin tan head. Aroma is bready and toasty with some tootsie roll sweetness. Flavor is dry bakers chocolate with more of that tootsie roll feel and finishes quite roasty and bitter for a brown ale. Brown ales aren't usually my thing but this one was pretty flavorful.
