A solid beer, but nothing exciting here.
A - Deep brown, copper color; thin foam that disappears quickly; lots of tiny bubbles
S - Sweetness and not much else
T - Little sweetness; very non-descript at first, but flavors come through after the finish; roasted malt flavor, smoke, caramel, and nut
M - Nice amount of carbonation; smooth
D - Less sweet than Newcastle, but it is a nice beer

I am with the Brothers on this one. I sure wish it was still available here in Central FL. This brown ale is scrumptious.
