American Brown Ale, 9%: Deep murky brown color with a copper hue but no visible activity. Slightly creamy beige 2-3 finger head, lasting around 5-10 minutes, with decent lacing, poor legs and swirl reaction. Flavors of caramel, light roasted grains, light berries and cherries, coffee, and herbal hops. Slick and oily medium to full body with a moderate crisp. Medium strength finish, faint sugary feel of toffee with faint leafy hops and a hint of clove. Hard to and a point out some flavors, feels muffled and not well balanced with a tarnished finish (this is why you see lots of « light » and « faint » words in the review). I can’t understand what type of brew this is or what personality. At least the alcohol is well hidden and it’s easy to drink. Overall below average quality.
