First off, a great event at Texas Arizona tonight with many New Jersey breweries showing off their delicious craft beers for $5 a pint. Unfortunately I only had time for two, the first of which was Flying Fish's newest member of the Exit Series, Exit 8. This Chestnut Brown Ale poured a dark, dark brown (almost black) color with a thick beige head on top. It looked more like a stout or porter, but it had a slight nutty and sweet malty scent to it. Taste was sweet and nutty, much like the aroma and finished a bit hoppy and bitter, although nothing over the top. It was a very well balanced and smooth beer, but didn't have an over abundance of flavors to it. Being a bit thicker than expected for a Brown Ale, it is definitely a good winter beer that comes very close to the line between Brown Ale and Stout. Overall, another great Exit Series brew.
