Hints of nuts and chocolate dancing on your tongue, balanced bitterness, where hops and malts are spun with every sip, you'll feel the glory, this brown ale's gonna tell a Super Bowl story!

On tap at Barnyard Wood Crafted Pizza in Burlington
Pours a solid dark brown with ruby edges and a good sized tan head that slowly recedes. Chocolate caramel and hints of nut and earth.

Pours dark brown with ruby edges. Robust tan head. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, roast grain, and a hint of nuttiness. Taste is superb, semi-dark chocolate, toasted black bread, roast grains, hop bitterness, slight nuttiness. Real smooth feel, full body. Overall, this is an exceptional brown. This crappy holiday-time review doesn't do it any justice.
