Appearance - Pours a hazelnut brown with four fingers of frothy hazelnut head.
Smell - earthy, leafy, and floral hops, cocoa, nutty aromas, bready malts, caramel, coffee bean, and earthy yeast.
Taste - earthy, leafy, and floral hops upfront. The brew then goes into the cocoa, nutty aromas, bready malts, caramel, and coffee bean. The earthy yeast rounds out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with all elements lingering.
Overall - A brown ale that boasts a true English side but adds a touch of American elements to it. Never heard of this brewery before but saw this at a local YYC liquor store and thought I'd sample a can. Worth a go if you're into smooth and easy drinking browns.

473ml can - so this is a blend of English brown ale attributes from both the north and the south of that particular nation, which is good to know, and finally understand.
This beer pours a murky, dark orange-brick brown colour, with four zaftig fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves some decent spectral and webbed lace around the glass as it lazily bleeds out of existence.
It smells of grainy and bready cereal malt, biscuity toffee, some oily bar-top nuttiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, subtle cafe-au-lait, and some weak earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some faint wet ashiness, plain earthy nutty notes, medium chocolate, day-old coffee grounds, and more understated leafy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-engaging frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping right in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes of-dry, the toasted malt character predominating.
Overall - while this claims to fill the non-existent void between the Northern and Southern factions of English brown ale aficionados, I'm left once again wondering what the fuck this brewery is really all about. Good beer, or good press?
