Surprisingly light and effervescent, this darker than dark experimental brown ale has a rich, sweet and even meaty aroma, prepping the drinker for a taste experience altogether larger and more interesting than it actually delivers. Not to say that this is a subpar beer, on the contrary, it's very enjoyable with nice amounts of fruit flavor and dryness sip to swallow. Stacked against this release though are far more interesting recent releases in this series, including 'Manhattan Project,' 'Backbreaker' and Cookie Jar.' This release just seems ordinary by comparison. Those looking for a well made and flavorful brown ale could do much, much worse than ordering a glass of this - just don't go in expecting something over the top or shockingly unique, and you'll walk away satisfied.
