Pours a chocolate brown color with a minimal head that doesn't leave lacing. Nose of roasted malt, caramel, and chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, brown sugar, caramel, and a slight nuttiness. Medium-full body and medium carbonation.
A little heavy for a brown ale, and it borrows it's sweeter profile from the english variety. A solid craft offering at a sporting arena.

A super session brown. Russet brown, creamy khaki head that persists. Typical brown ale flavors - caramel, toasted malt, molasses, mild fruitiness. Balance leans towards sweet but there’s some faint herbal hop bitterness balancing things out. No hint of watery-ness or thinness, plenty full for the style and abv. Good stuff if you like brown ales and sessionable beers as I do.

For an easily acquired--and reasonably priced--product this is a good choice. Of all the brews from Coop that I've tried so far this one is definitely my favorite.

Nice little brown ale. Beautiful dark color. Light tan foamy head. Very subtle smell: balanced malt, hops, and maybe some yeast. Not a big flavor, but perfectly balanced. Very, very drinkable.

This is an average brown ale. There is nothing great or bad about it. This is a beer to introduce a friend to the style. Have a great day my friends.

Great full flavored lower gravity ale for us folks in oklahoma! Pours dark brown, head fades quick with slight lacing. Smells of sweet malt, very inviting. Taste is smooth with caramel or molasses sweetness and slight roast. Very simple, but enjoyable. Perfect as a go to beer.

Nice refreshing brown beer. Not very heavy, so it is easy to have more than one or two.
