Thanx Vic for bringing some of your home turf up here.
Reviewed from notes, this was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a nice dark brown color with a nice looking one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute.
The smell had a nice roasted nuttiness coming across a caramel/toffee-like maltiness.
The taste took those flavors and added a nice creamy coffee-like substance lightly in the background.
On the palate, this sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. It leaves a decent creamy aftertaste and finish.
Overall, good brown ale I’d have again.
