Appearance is pseudo mahogany brown. Very little head, but I may have gotten an out-dated bottle.
Smell is malty & reveals a bit of caramel/brown sugar aromas. A touch of alcohol comes through towards the end.
Taste offers a hint of caramel and brown sugar and an agreeable bite from the hops. A buttery presence may be due to the English tradition.
Mouthfeel is pleasant. A medium body comes to mind.
A worthy beer, but not exactly top notch - however, I'd imagine this would be far better on tap (as most beers tend to be). Regardless, it's a very drinkable brew. I can see myself sitting at a bar drinking 5-6 pints of this stuff with no problem. It's kind of like the Yuengling of brown ale's.
