Appearance: clear deep amber with a creamy dense light beige head, excellent retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grainy caramel malt, dry cocoa, light coffee, slight earthy and nutty. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, short duration mildly sweet and lightly bitter finish. (3/5)
A mild brown ale with a hint of oatmeal smoothness. Nothing too thrilling. (12/20)
