Human Village Brewing Company "Chestnuts Roasting Fireside Ale"
16 fl. oz. crowler

Look: Clear deep chestnut body with soft ruby, orange, and gold highlights. Creamy tan head with somewhat better than average head retention and lacing.

Smell: Nutty, toasty, softly roasty, and cocoa-like. Clean.

Taste: As the aroma suggests, it's nutty, toasty, and cocoa-like. There's a very mild yeasty fruitiness that's reminiscent of apple and perhaps pear, and just a touch of leafy and mildly tea-like hops. It's very much a southern English brown ale with a hint of roastiness thrown in.

Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp with fine bubbles and a standard carbonation.

Overall: Quite a nice example of an English winter specialty that I'd love to sample via cask & handpump. It reminds me of beers I've had at The Dispensary and The Ship & Mitre, both in Liverpool, UK.
