Sophisticated faux-Belgian-styled brown ale raises chewy cookie dough luster above tongue-coating mocha-caramel-chocolate malts countering tingly floral-piney hop spicing. Alcohol-burned astringency defers resin-y mineral grained center, molasses-soaked wheat toast bottom, and recessive almond-hazelnut clip to no ill effect. Medicinal finish gains mild sherry-port remnant.
