Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 4, 2006 On Tap @ Brewery. Brown color with light brown head. Light nutty aroma with some caramel notes. Nice nutty and caramel malt flavor. Tasty with a bit of hops to round it out. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA Oct 1, 2006 Draft. Caramel color with a white, ivory head. Toasty nut alt aroma. Thick fruity mouth feel . Chocolate, coffee flavor. Clean finish. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 25, 2006 Updated: Feb 11, 2008on tap. Sampled at the San Diego Festival of Beers 2006 9/22/06. I’ve had this beer a few times at the brewery and it always seemed a little thin. This time it tasted just right. No scent with little to no head, though I believe it was merely the fault of the pourer as my friend got one with a nice head. The color is nice and deep dark brown and the taste is exactly what you’d expect from something of that color. It was deep dark malty and delicious. haddon90 (1034), Alexandria, Virginia, USA Sep 24, 2006 On draft at the Liar’s Pub in Mission Beach. A very good nut brown. Pours a deep brown color with a modest head. Malty aroma with hints of nuts and oats. Deep nut flavor, with malt blended in as well. Roasted as well. Kind of overpowering, but i liked it. bager (2121), Copenhagen N, Denmark Sep 10, 2006 On tap. Dark brown in colour with a medium sized head. Malty and sweet but also with a nice bitter hoppyness. Notes of caramel and nuts. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA Aug 7, 2006 On tap at O’Brien’s. Pours the rich, transparent color of California redwood with a thin layer of marshy ivory head. The aroma is brimming with malty tones highlighted by loads of toasted hazelnuts. Nutty, fleshy crystal malt husks dance in front of my nostrils. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Some hints of light raisin fruitiness with a smidgen of cinnimon spice, but mostly just pleasant dark malts. There’s a bit of an acidic tinge as well thats a pleasant addition to the flavor profile. I’m starting to bit up some very light clove spice in the final smack as well, along with some dry mocha powder. Well balanced, definitive brown ale. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Aug 2, 2006 Really nutty brew! Lots of nut flavor, with caramel hints as well. abit more roasted malts than I was expecting, maybe abit too much. Still a good beer, but not one of my favorites from Alesmith. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Aug 2, 2006 (Draught, Stuffed Sandwich) Pours a deep brown body with an average-sized beige head. Aroma of molasses, nuts, chocolate, and roasted malt. Flavor of cocoa, dark fruits, nuts, and caramel. An enjoyable brown ale!
