"Grumpy is Good."
In the eye: Rich brown color, clear(-ish), slim brown head atop.
In the nose: Malt-forward aromatics, nutty, slightly sweet, earthy, rich. Nice.
In the mouth: Smooth and substantial. Bold entry on the palate. Judicious bitterness meets malty sweetness well. Medium/full-ish body, consummate drinkability. A flat-out tasty-as-heck brown ale. I can drink this one all the way down and enjoy it.
This brewery is certainly getting it's due of late, mostly due to IPA's and big, barrel-aged stouts and such, as is often the case. They should be famous, as well, for making solid examples of standard styles.
