Two things are wrong about this beers entry, first of all i agree with the previous rater when they say that this 9%ABV, this is what mine is, second of all this ain't a brown ale, it would fit more comfortably as an old or strong ale.
Odd "aged" feel to it. Sour, vingary, tart. Bruised apples, caramel/toffee, slightly syruppy and sticky at times, but with quite a big tart, dry character aswell. Odd traces of salted licorice or something aswell. Lots happening, but i'm not really sure the complexities blend together all that well. Interesting anyway.

Cork topped bottle.
A - Red clay body with a sandy colored head.
S - Fruity aroma, I would almost bet money this is brewed with apples.
T - Is this a lambic? First a shock of acidity and then balsamico vinegar. With 9 percent I would assume that it has not gone bad and it is ment to taste this way. Actually it is fruity and pleasant, so I guess it was what they are aiming for.
M - Light muscato d'asti carbonation.
