Vintage Brown
A brown ale built on European specialty malt and traditional English hops. The colour is deep chestnut under a beige head. Toast, caramel and a light hazelnut note dominate the aroma, with a trace of dried fruit underneath and almost no roast bitterness. The body is medium and lightly sweet, the hopping earthy and low, and the finish is dry with the toasted malt note returning.
