Poured into a mug, the appearance was a rustic dark brown color with a sly transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen rising to fill a finger’s worth of foamy white head. After dissipation, some speckled lace.
The aroma had some sweet oats/grains, light sweet and roasted nuts, soft caramel malts and a touch of leather. Some earthy hops pepper their way in at the end.
The flavor somewhat blends the malts to the hops. Does a little bit of a disservice as the peppery earthiness seems to distract just a little bit. Aftertaste had some of the sweet oats and caramel malts. Finish is a bit of the pepper and roasted nuts.
The feel was about medium bodied, perhaps just a touch under. It’s fairly sessionable as the peppery earthiness isn’t too harsh. Malty smoothness helps the spice escape properly. Good carbonation. ABV felt good.
Overall, for the most part, it’s a decent brown ale that I could come back to.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener.
The appearance was a soft golden yellow color with basically all head. I have had this beer three times and all three times, the head was always the same, no matter how slow I poured it.
The smell had some light sweet corn to light spice.
The taste was mainly sweet but still had a light spice to it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was, well let’s just say, it was more than definitely seen in the beginning appearance and once again it’s definitely felt in my mouth.
Overall, interesting to say the least, perhaps a bit too carbonated.
