Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt dark orange close to amber color with a thin white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a slow pace. Light lacing.
The aroma had some sweet earthy nuts, some tobacco leafiness, and then a light citrus bitter hoppiness.
The flavor yields to the blend of sweet earthiness/tobacco to the citrus bitter hoppiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation felt fine. ABV nestled in just right.
Overall, good one for it’s style and worthy of having again.

Thanks Doug.
Growlette share.
Mine was poured into a nonic.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown color just a tad lighter in color than their sweet stout. Head falls into oblivion immediately and barely leaves any lace.
The aroma tried to have some sweet to roasty nuts. Rugged malty smooth milk chocolate. Burnt toast, rugged grains.
The flavor, pretty much copies the aroma, with a rugged grainy to malty kick on the tastebuds. Aftertaste is nutty with the grains and chocolate. Rugged grainy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. Graininess seems to be formidable against my tongue. Quite a ruggedness.
Overall, quite a different brown ale. Reminds of Long Trail’s Unearthed with that ruggedness of the grains hitting all around, but this one seems to take the cake. Kinda tough to totally take down, but we did it. Unsure if we would have again unless this recipe was re-worked.

Thanks Doug.
Growlette pour, mine was poured into a nonic.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head. Barely any lace.
The aroma is super sweet rubbing sweet milk chocolate against dark chocolate and not allowing too much of the bitter portion coming out. Sly vanilla far underneath. Some caramel and toffee malts. Some breadiness.
The flavor, once again, is super sweet leading into the previously mentioned maltiness. Slick sweet aftertaste flowing into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a greater sessionability than I expected. Slick almost watery body.
Overall, nice to try but not exactly an on par sort of milk/sweet stout. Needs some more body to this.
