It's been called the hybrid of a Scotch Ale and as IPA. You call it what you want. This roasty, malty, hoppy brown delivers all the feels of early Autumn. Full-bodied with notes of hazelnuts and caramel.

6ers of cans available all throughout Baltimore. Pricey, but no more so than most other local brews circa 2020.
Pour is dark brown and very aggressively fizzy... not intentionally, I don't think. The carbonation is just off. But, hey, it's not like you're charging 2.50 a can or anything. Or, crap, you are, but seriously guys quality control is an antiquated concept that forward-thinking young brewery owners have worked beyond.
After about 5 minutes, the pour settles to the point where the beer is drinkable. It smells and tastes primarily like blank fizziness, but there's enough semi-sweet barley in there to let you know this is supposed to be a brown ale.
It's... fine. Drinkable. Decent yeast complexities on the back end. But if the craft beer market ever collapses (or maybe even just gets a bit more sane), you'll be able to point to beers like this as the reason. 14 bucks for six cans of something that's slightly better than a beginner's homebrew.

Appearance: Solid brown body over a huge tan head that left good lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malt nose, a bit of coffee, a bit nutty.
Taste: Getting some caramel among the maltiness. Nut like flavors still showing up. Hoppier than the aroma portends.
Mouthfeel: Full-to-medium bodied and well carbonated. Nice edge in the aftertaste.
Overall: Balance adds to the enjoyment; not too passive nor too aggressive.
