Impression:
The aroma is very nutty and fairly yeasty, with a decent helping of roasted malt, so it's pulling me in right off the bat. The flavors are very similar but more distinct: dark toasted bread, hazelnut, coffee, chocolate, and some toffee jump out at me, and there's a nice earthy/woody tone behind it all. A medium-full body rounds it out nicely. This is a very well done brown ale -- not too bitter, not too dry, and the malt-heavy body brings forward some nice complexities. Very enjoyable. I'll have to look for this again in the future.
Cheers!
