(From notes)
A - Deep coppery brown color, poured with a creamy mostly white head. Good lacing throughout the sample.
S - Biscuity malt; toffee; very mild earthy hop bitterness
T - Biscuit-like malt and yeastiness of fresh bread that is a bit sweet. Solid tea-like hop bitterness, and pretty dry.
M - Creamier, medium MF, subtle carbonation and it coats and rolls over the palate pretty well.
D - Hugely drinkable, great flavors but nothing extreme. Great balance in every sip that brings both a solid maltiness and earthy hoppiness at the same time.
Overall, I'm not sure if I would classify this as an English Brown as it reminds more of other types of English Ales. No matter the classification, I think this is an outstanding brew. Awesome stuff.

The 40 Foot Ale is named after a promontory near Dublin, and guest brewed by someone from that area. It comes out a very cloudy light orangish brown under 1.5 finger off-white head that lingers forever adn generates great lace. The nose is mild of malt, with definite caramel tones. The mouth is mildly carbonated and quite clean. The taste is very enjoyable, starting with unsweetened caramel malt, followed by a respectable amount of hops, more floral than coniferous, with a slihgtly espresso bitter. The aftertaste is pleasantly dry and bitter, with a touch of spice. Very quaffable - another outstanding product from Vienna's best brewery.
