Alewife and I stopped into Candia Road Brewing on 21AUG21 for some libations. Each had a pint pour of this, for $7.00.
Served in a standard shaker pint glass, it was a clear, deep chestnut color. Had a light foam head, mostly a rim-job of deep beige suds, with thin lacing. Had a pleasant nose of malty caramel and toffee. Body was medium, with a rather smooth feel on the tongue.
Taste was aroma-like, with more semisweet caramel and toffee malty action. Had some earthy hopping and a touch of florality. A solid brown ale! Cheers!!

Notes via stream of consciousness: "Dixwell And Brown"? It reminds me of a joke about hookers from New Orleans near General Taylor and Peniston Street. Moving on... it's poured a very dark mahogany brown / black body beneath a short head of creamy tan foam. The aroma is sweetly chocolate with some apple-like fruitiness and what seems like an edge of roastiness. It's a pretty limited aroma but maybe it will open up a bit once it warms. In the mouth it's light bodied and smooth with a minimal carbonation level. I wonder what they were going for as the flavor is limited as well. Were they thinking of something like a dry Irish stout? It's got 7% alcohol to it. Let me try it again... yeah, it's pretty light. There's a lot of fruitiness to it, and caramel; not a lot of chocolate but what's there is dark bittersweet chocolate. I'm not really finding roastiness although there is a suggestion in the finish along with some leafy and tea-like hops, and a slowly fading cocoa nib. It's nicely balanced, and it dries in the end with just a bit of bitterness lingering. I kind of like it but the mouthfeel isn't helping it. If this were poured via handpump through a sparkler though it would probably be much more satisfying. And, of course, it would have to warm up a bit. Yeah, I've had dark milds similar to this in England. Of course this is labeled a brown ale but I'm only saying it's 'similar'. I wasn't impressed at first but it's growing on me. This is the kind of beer that I like to enjoy while watching a band perform or something like that. I'm not actively drinking like when I'm standing around talking with friends, I just have a sip of it every now and then. I'll say it's worth trying.

From the 16 oz. can which was canned 04/24/18. Sampled in June. This is written from my notes.
The pour is chestnut brown with a long-lasting, soft mocha colored head.
The nose is sweet brown bread, brown sugar, roasted malts, and subtle earthy hop profile.
Medium but slightly astringent mouthfeel.
There is a pleasant sweet roasted malt flavor but also a bit of a grainy note that makes it a little gritty. Moderate bitterness at the end.

Can from a Lazy dog
Slightly hazy brown with bits of red at the edges. Lots of caramel and hints of chocolate with bits of earthy hops and light fruitiness to counter. Light astringency. Pretty decent for a brown ale.
