Our 2006 and 2010 World Beer Cup Gold Medal winner (English-style Brown). A deep mahogany brew, rich with caramel malts and a hint of English hops with notes of toffee and toasted malt.

One finger bright white head with good retention. The head is creamy and foamy leaving some lacing on the glass. The color of the beer is medium dark brown, kinda like a rusty brown but darker. .
A very nutty toasty malt, yeasty, biscuit, touch of floral, toffee, and touch of caramel.
A rich nutty toasted malt, biscuit, toffee, floral, a subtle sweetness, low hop profile, low fruit esters.
Medium body, medium carbonation, and a medium finish.
Very good mouthfeel, easy drinking, fresh, enjoyed very much. Great beer.
