This British Brown Ale presents a refined Northern UK profile, emphasizing a complex malt architecture. The bouquet leads with inviting coffee aromatics that transition into a rich, sweet malt foundation. On the palate, a distinctive nutty filbert character takes center stage, supported by layers of toffee and light chocolate. While the malt is forward, a gentle earthy hop presence ensures balance. The finish is notably lingering yet clean, enhancing its sessionable quality despite being at the higher end of the style's strength. It is a harmonious example of the style, balancing toasted depth with a smooth, approachable drinkability.
Appearance.Dark reddish-brown (approximately 20 SRM) with excellent clarity. It supports a moderate, creamy, light tan head with good retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity. Dominant aromas of toasted nuts and sweet toffee are accented by distinct coffee-like aromatics. Subtle earthy hop notes and very low fruity esters are secondary to the rich chocolate and caramel malt base.
Taste.Initial impression of malty sweetness featuring toffee and biscuit. The mid-palate reveals a prominent hazelnut and filbert flavor. Medium-low bitterness provides enough structure to balance the caramel malt without becoming harsh. The finish is medium-dry and lingering, leaving traces of toasted grain and light cocoa.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. At 5.9% ABV, there is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
