Bottle. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. Surprising lack of strong coffee aroma. Appearance is nearly opaque dark reddish brown with 2-finger width frothy light brown head with nice lacing. Taste is light to medium sweet chocolatey malt flavor with subtle coffee flavor. Palate is medium bodied with moderate texture, average carbonation and balanced sweet/bitter finish. Overall, a nice beer that looks good and tastes good but could be a bit stronger all around. Not as coffee dominant as I would have liked.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 3/28/15
Aroma: The nose is caramel and earth, with some metallic notes.
Appearance: It pours a clear amber color with an off white head.
Flavor: Polio flavor, leans sweet, but with a light bitterness.
Palate: The body is light-medium, easy enough drinkability, lightly dry.
Overall Impression: Solid enough approachable amber (not brown) ale. Makes sense as a gateway to craft beer, but not super interesting for a craft offering. (Cleaning up the rating, I have no idea what auto-corrected to "Polio" in my flavor description, but I think I'll just leave it, it's too weird to fix.)

Bottle late night while doing some reading. Pours copper with decent head. Nose is caramel and some herbal. Tastes of caramel, floral, sage, spicy pepper, and toast. Juicy palate. Not a brown ale but a fine beverage.
