12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 9/14/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big hazelnuts, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted brown bread; with lighter notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toffee, vanilla, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/bready/light roast malts, hazelnut flavor, and mild earthy hop/yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big hazelnuts, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted brown bread; with lighter notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toffee, vanilla, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of hazelnuts, caramel, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toffee, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roast malts, hazelnut flavor, and mild earthy hop/yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is an awesome English brown ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roast malts, hazelnut flavor, and mild earthy hop/yeast flavors; extremely smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter finish. Nicely rich malt complexity with balanced hazelnut flavors; mild earthy hop balance against sweetness. Not overly roasty. Not overdone on any aspect. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
