The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Sliding messy lace.
The aroma had some dark roasted malts, light coffee tones, some roasted almonds, dried leaves and ended with a little bit of earthy bitterness.
The flavor was mostly roasty. Light bitterness from some of the dark chocolate portions came out. Nicely blended aftertaste of the same strolling into the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a slight sessionability about it. Good carbonation with the ABV feeling just as the brewer projected.
Overall, pretty nice as a stout, but the coffee keeps a bit of a lower presence.

Thanks Mike.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-soft burnt orange/copper to almost amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off fairly quick. Not much lace.
The aroma had some sweet citrusy to grassy hops, some light piney-ness and a touch of caramel/toffee malt. Light toast and a little bit of butterscotch came out.
The flavor focused on the sweetness of the blend of the malts to the hops. Some bitterness did come out, but it was fairly quick. Aftertaste blended all previously mentioned notes to follow into the finish, some stickiness.
The feel was just a tad under than medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty good amber that I could come back to if I could get it.
Thanks Mike.

The appearance was a dark brown close to some dark amber hues. Finger’s worth of white foamy head left at a nice pace.
The aroma had some sweet and roasty nuts up front, some toast, earthy spice, grassiness, subtle hints of dark fruits. Some caramel malts
The flavor leaned into the sweetness of the prior mentioned aromas. Light earthiness came in gently. Aftertaste followed suite of the earthiness and nuts. Quick malty finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, worthy brown ale to have again.
