From the brewer

The brown ale to end all brown ales. Enjoy it, because there is no longer any reason to drink another. You’ve reached the pinnacle. A healthy blend of traditional British malts give this popular style a semi-sweet, biscuity, slightly roasted flavor. Oats thicken the mouthfeel, and a handful of specialty malts add complex chocolate, toffee, and caramel notes. The hops are mostly traditional, earthy British hops, but we cocked it up a bit with some Cascade late in the boil just to show those snooty Brits that we don’t approve of that Constitutional Monarchy crap.

That label... Nutty with some malt flavors. Light saltines

Still absolutely the worst label art I've ever seen. It's even more disturbing up-close - no hand? The flavor, on the other hand, is really nice -- a roast-chocolate brown ale with a slightly salty flavor and maybe a hint of smoke. It produces a pretty warm, comfy feeling, and surprisingly, no bitterness on the finish. Drink this, but maybe out of a paper bag?
