Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a good finger’s worth of white foamy head. Some stringy lace.
The aroma had a good sweet malt up front with some roasty nutty tones coming out nicely. Some earthy/citrusy hops try to come out near the end.
The flavor copied the aroma pretty much spot on and bled into the aftertaste to follow in the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. ABV felt appropriate. Pretty smooth along my tongue.
Overall, really nice brown ale and given the circumstances why it was brewed, makes me feel good they brewed something that they weren’t sure about but it turned out really good.

The appearance was a dark amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a good pace. Slight lace.
The aroma had some sweet nuts, good roastiness, light toast, mellow milk chocolate, super light dark chocolate, some coffee bean. Ended with some earthy hops.
The flavor blended all of the prior mentioned aromas together nicely and bringing about a nice aftertaste of the same. Semi-dry sort of malty finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Sly carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, nicely done brown ale worthy of having again.
