Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a semi-dark mahogany almost brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee malts up front with some grassy hops. Nuttiness is there but a bit more fainter than expected.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side and never really brought the nuts. Malty sweet aftertaste and finish.
The feel was a bit under from being medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, with so many brown ales on the market and me being a fan of the style, I don’t necessarily see this as a top tier one.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 07/20/2012. Brown pour with medium foamy beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malt and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of chocolate malt, fruit and slight hops. The finish is sweet with a short malt aftertaste. Fairly average overall.
