Named for the one and only Phil Brown. Brewed for his 75th birthday in 2009 and on tap ever since. We use peat smoked malt in this beer for our own little spin and to honor Mr. Brown's heritage. Thank you Phil!

Pours clear, dark brown in color, with 1/2 inch head. Taste is brown bread, toasted malt, and light smoke. Medium bodied and slightly sweet. Above average, solid brown ale. There are others in the style I prefer, but this is solid.

From the 16 oz. can that I know was canned in May 2016 but I don't know what day. Sampled on May 27, 2016.

Beautiful dark brown color with frothy, foamy tan head that lingers and laces.

Big nutty and malty aroma with even a touch of chocolate or vanilla. Butterscotch too. Low but earthy hop profile.

The body is medium.

Excellent malt and nutty sweetness in the taste with a mild to moderate bitter finale. Pretty tasty I'd say.

A: Pours a mahogany color with 2+ fingers of head that fades down to a nice cap that last for a good while

S: Malty and slightly nutty up front, with hints of smoke in the back. Some earthy hops also come through and provide a nice balance

T: Starts off with a bit of caramel, nut, and toffee notes from the malt, with hints of sweetness and brown bread. Smoke comes through lightly as an undertone and makes it very interesting. Finishes with lingering light smoke and earthy tones

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth

O: The smoked malts make for a nice and interesting take on a brown. It comes across a little salty and makes you want to drink more. Very solid and quite an easy drinker for a cold fall or winter day. Definitely another solid brew from MW
