Ale Asylum Madtown Nutbrown

Brewed by Ale Asylum
Style: Brown Ale
Madison, Wisconsin USA

Slightly hazy dark brown with a creamy, light brown head. Nutty, roasted malt and toasted grain aromas with a whiff of hops. Flavor of sweet, roasted malt, candied nuts and a touch of hops bitterness at the end. Nice tingle of carbonation and a nice creamy palate.

Bottle, dimple mug. Pours a hazy red-brown, with scant pale creamy head. Bold toasty malt aromas, notes of apple blossom, also a deep earthiness. Not at all viscous, but a vigorous effervescence on the tongue displaces any feelings of wateriness. Initial impessions of barley, caramel, and bright coffee, followed bitterness (hops, raw peanuts), touch of a musty musty element. Smooth finish, hazelnut coffee, caramel mouthfeel. A bit lacking in harmony among the parts, but really a flavorful brew.

A cloudy, dark, reddish amber body is topped by a small cap of cream colored foam. Wet, sudsy lacing leaves minimal spotting behind. The aroma is nice, showing brown sugar, candied pecans, caramel, vanilla, and even hints of golden raison. Some perfumy, floral hops add a touch of bite to the nose. Flavors are smooth and well integrated, pecan and brown sugar working together nicely. There’s a lactic creaminess to this, as well a mild, earthy hop finish. Sweet, but not too sweet. Nice balance. The palate is a little on the light side, but very well carbonated and easy to drink. Overall, this is a nice little nut brown.

Bottle. Dark brown with almost no head. Malt and carmal aroma. medium palate. Nice smooth matl taste with a sweet finish. This is now my favorite brown ale.

I totally love this beer. It has a hint of chocolate in it with nutty/malty over tones. Very smooth with a tiny bit of hops on the end. it is one of my favorite Brown Ales

Started out thin but it got better. Aroma was roasted toffee. Pours a light red-brown. First flavor is dry that evolves to a sweeter finish. Good malty Brown

A nice beer- pours a clear bright brown colour. Medium sized head, well balanced with lightl roasted malts and oak. Finishes slightly hopped with a sweet caramel and nutty flavors.

I thought it was pretty nutty and malty, but not sweet though. Maybe some hazelnut. Malt was kinda dirty though. Mouthfeel was pretty thick but slightly sticky with bad carbonation.
