What Our Editors Thought
“Deep reddish-brown color and tan foam. Chocolate-chocolate-chip cookies in the aroma with a few extra caramel chips. Dark-chocolate bitterness in the sip with looser, less defined malt.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Mild, smooth milk-chocolate aroma. Toasted dark-crust bread on the initial sip. Smooth, malty mouthfeel suggests white bread drizzled with caramel and candy sugar. A punch of sweetness adds complexity but limits the drinkability. Light and unpretentious. Finishes clean and well-rounded.”
What the Brewers Say
“Traditional English nut-brown ale with East Kent Goldings hops.”
