Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 2/6/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep ruby red, light copper/brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, dark fruit, and toasted brown bread; with lighter notes of nuttiness, bourbon, chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/light roast malts, vanilla, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, and toasted brown bread; with lighter notes of nuttiness, bourbon, dark fruit, chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop and roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, toasted brown bread, light nuttiness/bourbon/chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roast malts, vanilla, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. Pretty thin, but not watery feeling. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a very good flavored English brown ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roast malts, vanilla, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink for the style with the mildly bitter finish. Flavorful despite the thin body. Well balanced malt complexity with bourbon soaked vanilla; restrained fruity yeast and mild earthy hop balance. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Draft at Mellow Owensboro. Pours a clear light lavendar pink color with a small bit of foam that lingers. Strong acetic nose with lemon and light wood aromas. Young, tart plum on the palate and sharply acetic flavors. Unbalanced and tart for the sake of being tart.
