What Our Editors Thought
“A subtle aroma opens into a thin, delicate body where malt sweetness leads over bitterness. Flavors of milk-chocolate chips folded into dark bread linger gently long after the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The aroma is like toasted brown bread, with light caramel and some estery notes. Background hop aroma is earthy. An impression of minerality adds a drying effect. Sweet, with flavors of ribbon candy and red apple. Moderately bitter, sweet finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Malt-forward, English-style nut brown ale with a warm character of hazelnut, biscuit, and toffee notes.”
