UPDATED: FEB 12, 2020 Great Brown Ale. Strong bready malt aroma. Nice smooth brown color with a good head. Flavor was well-rounded with a mild caramel grain followed by balancing hops.

UPDATED: JUL 21, 2019 Can at Niffers on Lake Martin. Brown with a creamy head. Aroma of honey and roasted grains. Bittersweet with a mild, toasty bitterness. Crisp. Pleasant. Uneventful but good.

12oz can pours out a crisp brown topped with a sand head. Nose is nice light nutty notes some roast malts and a little pine hops. Taste is more of the nice light roast malts some sweetness and a balanced hop.

Lots of sweet caramel malt on top of a bready, somewhat metallic base, mild wet grain and apple offset by a mild, piney finish tinged with citrus. Good feel, oily and smooth, but the pour seems more amber than brown, and the nose is mostly unnoticeable. Pretty average.

On tap at Good People Brewpub, AL, 2.5.16. As Brown, 31IBU. Clear brown. A little malty, raisins and prune in the nose, sweet and nutty - caramel - in the mouth and a little dry mouthfeel. Medium body, woodsy and caramel finish.

Taps clear golden brown with a nice buff head. Aroma features toasted malt, cinnamon, woody hops and nutty notes. Flavor features toasted malt, nutty, cinnamon and subtle hoppy tones for a pleasing ale. Body is a little thin, but fizz is good. Drink brown when in town.

Pours an appetizing chestnut with a thick golden-buff head that leaves good lacing.aroma delights with caramel, roast malt, molasses, and cloves notes. Lip-smacking flavor is a little sweet but not too much; notes of caramel, cloves, toasted malt, and a little molasses dance across the taste buds.smooth texture is firm and fairly lively. Good people brew good beer.

12 oz. can. Foggy, chestnut body with a quarter inch of foam. Smells of earthy chocolate toffee, apple, graham cracker and toasted nut. Flavor has lightly tart apple, dark toffee and graham cracker. Hints of wood, toasted pecan, ash and chocolate in the finish balance the big malts quite nicely. Medium body has a mostly smooth, medium carbonation and a delicate balance. Almost seems like a quality Scottish Ale and it’s my favorite of 7 brews from GPBC to date.

Murky light brown, with a sizey beige foam head. Smells like, well, a brown ale. Some molasses, some caramel, some chocolate. Taste is molasses, cola, and tiny hint of bourbon. Some piney hops in the finish.

Aroma: very malty without much else; Appearance: dark amber, clear with thin head; Taste: very malty and roasty; Palate: heavy body with long, malty/sweet finish; Overall: ok

Draft at The Flying Saucer, Nashville. Brown with an off-white head. A fair amount of lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and nutty, with chocolate and coffee notes. Taste follows nose.
