This came to me in a beer club. I have never heard of the brewer and their products are not available locally to me. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was sour malt and smoke. The beer was rather flat. The flavor was sour and mildly malty with a roasted malt note and some bitterness on the finish. I tend not to be much of a brown ale fan so this beer did little for me. It was drinkable though.
