Poured into a mug, the appearance was a soft dark brown color with a slight transparency about it. Just a cap of a little white foamy head slid off fairly quick leaving barely any lace.
The aroma had some sweet to roasty pecans up front with a glazed caramel/toffee malt sweetness and a crisp earthy sweetness on the back end.
The flavor was mainly sweet through the pecans and caramel/toffee malts. Light aftertaste of the same and having a light toast coming about.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt light and the ABV felt good. Nuttiness and caramel/toffee malts present a nice smoothness along my tongue.
Overall, as an English brown ale, I'd say this was quite nice. Definitely a good one for this time of the year.

Brown pour, upped clarity, didn't develop the a whole lot of head 1/5", couldn't form enough to retain anything. Aroma didn't kick down much in the brown malt or nuttiness department.
Shit kinda went off the rails, way too bitter, almost a copper penny bitterness in a style that should be smooth, furthermore, the lack of nuts in my beer (ahem) kinda defeats the purpose for such a style subgenre. Drank hot. Below average representation of style.
