Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white and barely tan head that fades quickly and doesn't leave much up top. Aroma of light nuts, earth, a dash of rustic grainy qualities and a good dose of caramelised sugars - but this is all quite light in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly thin malt notes show through with some raisins and fig sweetness and a dry, mushroomy and rustic quality that does bring out some nuttiness and a dash of cardboardie malts towards the end. Aftertaste shows some subdued cream and lactose notes, but the grain is a bit more noticeable along with some nuts and a bit of caramelised sugars, but there are no hops here and no real complexities that you might find in other browns. Overall, a pretty standard beer for the style, if not a little less than that. This has a moderate malt profile with some slight sugars here throughout, but there isn't enough depth or pungency here to make it worthwhile to drink, even if it is easy to find. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint pour on draught at Union Stage in Washington, D.C. on 28-October-2022 while watching Too Many Zooz play with my wife and THREE KIDS for US$11,70.

16oz can. Poured a mostly clear yellow, with a very light orange hue. Medium sized white head. Aroma was crisp and smooth malts, light grassy notes. Really nice stuff. Very easy drinking, smooth and tasty. Sad to have this after they closed up shop.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, bubbly head dissipates quickly. Sweet malty aroma, nutty, light roast. Taste is malty and sweet, nutty. Mildly dry finish. Medium weight, smooth, tasty. A good choice to follow a dark mild.
