Aspen Meadow Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

Had on 8/18/2000. Aroma is a lightly roasted malt scent. Color is a deep golden brown with good carbonation and head. Taste is crisp and nutty. Starting with a light body that goes down with a crisp feel. Finish is a clean roasted malt flavor backed by a light bitterness. Its a nice little Brown Ale.

-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

this is an outstanding beer. Goes right to the top of my favorite Brown Ales. Excellent flavor. No bad aftertaste. Not too weak. Not too strong. I will buy this one regularly.

Clear copper, thin white head. Graham cracker aroma, pus some mild understated hints of plum. The Bride called it "Bland, but kind of a good bland", and that actually makes sense here. Hints of rasin in the finish. OK. Thanks to Springslicker for this one.

Thin brown color with a small, fleeting head. Yeasty aroma. Flavor is cola-like sweet carbonic acid tang, thin body. Below average.

Not too great. Poured dark brown with minimal head which evaporated almost as fast as I could pour the bottle. Slight lacing along the way. Aroma was just barely there. I thought it was lacking in carbonation. Flavors which included some maltiness were very slight and a watery body. I don't like this anywhere near as much as Aspen's Red or Pale Ale. A dissappointment to say the least. I'll drink the rest of the sixpack, but won't buy another of this one

Deep brown with a very light tan head. Malty caramel aromas with a nuttiness. Flavors of caramel and a little nutty. A bad metallic flavor and grainy. I would not drink this one again.

Tastes slightly nutty with a very noticable sweet, vanilla-like flavor. It's not bad but really doesn't seem enough like a beer to me.
