Revisited November 23rd, 2021
Dark brown body; nearly opaque; intiially thick, foamy head, settles to a thin yet dense and creamy consistency; dense foam sheeting curtains the glass. Immensely head aroma; rich, darkly and earthly sweet aroma. Earthy sweetness and intense bitterness greet the palate; grain char with a bit of bitter astringency. Medium body; nice residual sugar body yet ever so slightly thin feeling; semi-sweet with an equally counter-balancing dryness.
The 'home' version of this beer is much better. I have always felt that most pub draft pours are served too cold (perhaps an inherent "feature" of modern day tap systems), but when a nicely canned crowler is allowed to set and warm to more ambient temperatures, magical things can happen. So, with nearly ten days separation between the brewery and home pour, the home pour wins, hands down. The beer -- this is a fine brown ale, malty with a slight overall dryness to offset the inherent malt sweetness. Nicely done.
Poured at 45 °F; crowler canned November 13th, 2021

Dark brown body, clear; thin, patchy head with some small patches of foam sticking to the glass. Dark grain aroma; malty. Light malt taste with a mild hop bitterness; slight astringency. Light body; somewhat watery mouthfeel.
The beer was served very cold, so some aspects may have been a bit muted. Things developed into a bit richer, fuller dimension as the beer warmed, primarily the flavor and mouthfeel.
