Brewing Notes
The perfect brown ale (at least in my opinion). Dark, lowly hopped, chocolately, sweet with soft flavors and a hint of roastiness. This is the brew I would want to drink in a pub with meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Tasting Notes
Black color with small light-brown head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, and fruit. Full-bodied, creamy texture with soft carbonation, roasty finish and a hint of bitterness. Medium duration, moderately sweet flavors of chocolate and fruit.
