Commercial Description:
This is a traditional English style Nut Brown. It's slightly higher in gravity than our Pale Ale and gets its deep walnut hue from rich Belgian caramel malts and dark roasted British malts. English Fuggle hops are used in both the kettle and "dry hopped" during maturation to give our Nut Brown an earthy, balanced bitterness and a delicate fresh hop aroma, without that over-hopped bite. This is an excellent beer for the colder months and goes well with mussels, lamb and the richer, fuller flavored cheeses.

Tight, creamy, white head sits on a brown-ruby body. Nutty, brown sugar malt. Robust hops are not overdone. Slight tea flavor/aroma. Medium-full body, fizzy carbonation, slightly acidic. Full flavored.

Appearance: Clear, brownish-amber body with a small, faintly beige-colored head. Lovely! Smell: Earthy, toasted nut nose mainly, with lesser notes fo roasted malt and brown sugar. Spicy hop scent in back with a faint touch of grassiness to it. Taste: Nutty dark caramel taste with hints of roast and brown sugar, though it’s never overly sweet. Earthy, lightly spicy hop character with a mild bitterness. Finishes a bit dry, and eventually with a bit more lingering bitterness as it warms. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A nice, enjoyable nut brown ale that’s good for a pint or two.

This is an excellent brown. It's got layers of malty complexity. Just a little hint of coffee supports a nice small chocolate nuts. There's just enough hops to keep it from being too sweet. I also got a little bit of prune going on, but not in a bad way. I thought this was an excellent brown ale.

A nice session ale here. I caught alot of sour notes in this which was not expected. This beer has a good nutty flavor. Another good one from 5 Sizzions!

Clear, darkish brown with a creamy head. Aroma of dry cocoa and light pecan. Flavor is dry cocoa, caramel and pecan. Light-medium body is slightly tingly and finishes roasty-dry.

I really enjoy this beer. This is what I expect in a nut brown. This actually has a rich toffee maltiness, with all kind of nutty flavors throughout, mixed with some dry chocolate and cocoa flavors. Highly enjoyable.

Draft at 5 Seasons. This beer had a small sized tan head with fine sized bubbles that quickly and completely dissipated. The body was softly carbonated and transparent with a red-brown hue. The nose was malty, caramel and lightly hoppy. The flavor was mildly hoppy with a fairly smooth and dry mouthfeel. This beer had a fair amount of lacing.
