Bready, estery nose
Pours a nice clear chestnut brown with a 2" finely bubbled persistent off-white head
The palate offers rich malt flavors with a little caramel. the esters on the nose do not show up on the palate. It is a touch sweet and a touch light on hops.
Medium body and carbonation - a fairly medium beer.

12oz bottle poured into pint glass

A Canadian beer brewed in St Louis

A- Clear chestnut brown. Two finger tan head that fades fast into a foamy ring.

S- Very sweet. Lots of caramel and brown sugar. No detectable nutty notes.

T- A lot like the smell, Very sweet. Too sweet for my tastebuds, esp for a brown ale IMO

M- Full bodied. Very smooth.

O- Not undrinkable, but way to sweet for my liking. Probably the sweetest brown ale I have ever had. Would have liked more dryness and some nutty, toasted malt notes.

Picked this one at the House of 1,000 for a dollar.

A - Pours a nice clear ruby brown color but head is minimal and reduces to a mild lace ring.

S - Smell is mild yet sweet with toasted nuts, bread crusts, overripe banana, and a touch of caramel.

T - Well it's much better than their pale ale but still a very lackluster brown. Mild if any nuts or toasted bread, very little brown malt, and an over sweetened finish that doesn't seem to save the overall beer. And I love sweet. Damn...

M - Light to medium it's really thin for a brown ale.

Overall not something to get even for a dollar. Look for better brown ales.

I found this a bit too sweet to enjoy more than one. I wanted to like it, but there are "better" browns out there. The mouthfeel is a bit unctuous, and then I was left with am overly saccharin sweetness. Felt carbonation was on the low side.
