What Our Editors Thought
“Murky nose with husky cacao nibs, a bit of lemon, and a vague sweet smoke. Herbal in the flavor with a pronounced roasty bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Hoppy brown ale! Piney, garlicky, grassy hop aroma grabs your attention, then the sweet malt background comes through. Hop flavors almost as assertive as aromas, but nicely balanced by sweet, toasty, pie crusty malt. A brown pale ale.”
What the Brewers Say
“We taste toffee, dark chocolate, and toasted almonds. Slightly sweet on the nose but finishes relatively dry with Cascade-hop bitterness.”
