Look: Pours a clear medium oak brown. Big 2 finger frothy head on an aggressive pour. 5 minutes after pour there is still reminants of the tawny head across the top
Smell: Sweet with plenty of nutty malt and caramel.
Taste: Sweet with tastes of honey and oats on the front end. Turning somewhat bitter and astringent on the back end.
Feel: Slightly soapy with a medium body. Does a good job of filling the mouth.
A decent brown ale, but not one I would return too when I think about some of the better Ontario brown ales so readily available. The back end lets this beer down. This beer earns a weak B.

Snooze You Lose Honey Brown Ale from All Or Nothing Brewhouse in Oshawa, Ont.
5% alc., 30 IBUs.
Water, malted barley, hops, honey, and yeast.
The beer has a bubbly beige head that lingers, leaving nice glass lacing. The colour is reminiscent of root beer.
Smell is dark malt and hints of chocolate. If you enjoy beers with a darker malt character - and I certainly do - I recommend trying.
The smell transfers to the taste. The beer is medium bodied, with a fluffy and slightly prickly mouthfeel, and a smooth wet finish.
This is really enjoyable. One of the better honey brown ales.
Grade: A.

Appearance: Poured with a finger worth of head that produce some mild lace and retained decently. The body is a very dark brown with red highlights that shows steady carbonation.
Smell: Needs quite a bit of warming to come out, and when it does it's predominantly roasted caramel malt with the barest touch of honey. That said though, even after warming it is quite mild.
Taste: Starts with over-roasted caramel malt, as it seems to have a bit of bitterness from the get go which is then accented by a light brush of honey and earthy hops.
Mouthfeel: Good transistioning but the carbonation seems a bit too aggressive here. Aftertaste though is a nice mixed bag. Still wish this was a bit sweeter as the honey doesn't make an appearance here.
Drinkability: On the lighter end of medium body which is interesting and easy to drink. Settles down exceptionally well and despite it's flaws, was easy to drink.
Final Thoughts: The first thought I had after the first sip of this beer was "Needs more honey, and less brown" as the malt comes off as a bit over roasted which I think if it was dialed back, could let the honey make more of a presence. Either way, decent stuff but nothing world shaking.

Review from notes - LCBO purchase for around $3.25 CDN.
Appearance - clear dark cola brown with roan hues. A small half finger of head rests on top but that fizzles out quick.
Smell - grainy with some nutty aspects and some dark fruit. Surprisingly robust.
Taste - same as the nose with grainy and nutty flavours shining through and a tiny bit of bubblegum sweetness and juiciness. Hop bitterness is persistent but restrained to keep everything in.
Mouthfeel - medium bodied, drying finish, carbonation on the low side. Could readily enjoy these back to back.
Overall - Maybe I was just in the right mood for a brown ale, but this really hit the spot and was enjoyed thoroughly. Will pick up a couple more just to see if it is in fact this good.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated XX Feb 2019 (can't make out the day) and served barely chilled.
Pours a clear copper amber colour with crimson red highlights, generating nearly one finger of frothy, light beige-tinged head that fizzles away within a few minutes' time. A sparse amount of lace is splattered about, with a tight collar of creamy foam being the only other remnant of note. It smells mostly of bready, biscuity, lightly toasted malts, though toffee also figures in prominently - beyond that, there's a hint of honey sweetness, as well as a vaguely nutty note, and maybe even a suggestion of cocoa as it warms.
There's a decent hop presence in the flavour profile - more than I'd expect from a honey brown to be honest, but I'm not complaining. The sip starts off with toasted grains and bready, caramelized malts, with the honey sweetness blending in seamlessly. The back end of the sip is relatively bitter, with earthy, leafy, somewhat herbal hops coming through alongside a roasted malt note that evokes hints of coffee grounds. Light in body, with low carbonation levels that weakly brush against the palate; feels smooth on the tongue. I found this effortlessly easy to drink back, though I suppose if you're not big on the hoppy finish then your mileage may vary.
Final Grade: 3.61, a B grade. All or Nothing's Snooze You Lose is a different type of creature than I was expecting. My usual issue with honey browns, if there's an issue at all, is that they're often too sweet... but this one sort of flips the tables, with the hops being the more assertive ingredient. For an American brown, that's hardly a flaw, but I do get the feeling that most 'honey brown' enthusiasts are looking for something a bit more, well... if not outright *sweeter*, then at least a little more malt-focused. A passable effort that I might return to once in a while, if the mood strikes.

Can....pours a clear cola brown with a decent tan cap that retains...aroma is toasty-roasty grains with some sweet and grassy undertones....flavor is well balanced with big roastiness and bitering hops ...long wet finish where te bittering increases...very drinkable but more like a robust porter or mild sweet stout than a brown ale...pleasant, satisfying
