Poured into a pint glass.

A. Pours a deep dark brown with reddish hues. What I can manage to see through seems to be moderately hazy. Above the dark liquid floats a lightly tanned, thick fluffy cloud; although the head doesn't disappear, the beer must, and in its wake is a trail of glass-coating lace.

S. Light and unassuming, the aroma here is not its strong point. It isn't an in your face beverage. It is faint, subtle, balanced, nutty, lightly toasted malt, biscuity.

T. Malt forward, similar to smell but with a little hop bite to boot at the finish. Just delicious

M. Medium body, slick-ish but balanced by the bitterness.

O. An ideal brown ale with a little extra hop bite (not big mind you, just enough to notice). The honey that is advertised isn't apparent, but that's ok with me (Beer with honey can be too sweet to try to convey the honey notes, not the case here). My first Jackie O's offering, I can only hope I can get my hands on others and that they live up to how well done this is.

Weird name for a beer but nothing is really weird on this one...

Great reddish coloration, light as it is. Smell is malty with a strong whiff of honey. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with an all-around very flavorful taste. I really liked this.

Looks opaque brown with a slight amber when placed in front a bright light. Smells of nut-honey oats. Tastes like a fine brown ale.

This is really solid, again I suppose not mind-blowing but the honey adds some nuance. This place is much much better at malt forward brews

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Pours a deep umber topped by a finger or so of beige foam. The nose comprises graham cracker, burnt toast, cassia bark, light cocoa powder, and pine needles. The taste holds notes of toffee, rye toast, graham cracker, and orange pith. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a thickly fluid feel. Not my favorite brown out there by any stretch, what with the non-melding flavors and ever-so-slightly-too-thin body. It's fine, but not something I'm gonna reach for in the future.
