Pours a deep mahogany with fantastic lacing, thick foamy head that held extremely well and finally faded into a thick collar and lots of wisps when swirled. Aroma is earthy brown sugar, a little woody and nutty. Taste is bitter chocolate, molasses, and earthy hops. Full, rich mouthfeel, a bit silty. Low carbonation despite that huge head.

Bottle purchased at Oliver's in Albany, NY.
Pours a golden dark-ish brown, with a half inch head, and a little bit of lacing.
Smells like nutty brown malts, chocolate, roasted malt, and toasted bread.
This is probably the best brown ale I've ever had. It's not really sweet at all, and focuses more on the toasty and roasty aspects of malt flavor, rather than the sweet caramelly malt flavor you usually get in a brown ale. There is some caramel, but it tastes toasty and unsweetened, along with toasted grainy bread flavor, hazelnuts, toffee, some bitter chocolate, leafy herbal hops, and lightly roasted malt. There's a lot of cool stuff going on here.
This is medium bodied, with a lower amount of carbonation, and a bready, crisp mouthfeel.
This is exemplary, and shows that a traditional brown ale can still be very interesting.
