Really like the beers from Iron Hill and had high hopes for this one. Maybe it's just me, but I was not impressed with this one.

On tap at the Drafting Room at Exton.

The beer pours a solid brown color with not much head retentnion and minimal lacing. Not a great start. The nose is really dumbed down, with a bit of brown sugar and light spice and really nothing else. On the palate, this beer is very odd. It tastes like a standard brown ale, but one where someone dumped a lot of tobacco into it. I'm just not digging the combination. Mouthfeel is light and a bit watery, with some very light sweetness to go with the other flavors. While the alcohol in this beer is not very noticeable, drinkability suffers from the fact that I just think this is a crappy beer.

I know they can't all be winners from Iron Hill, but I was not impressed with this one.
