Commercial Description:
A good, clean nutbrown ale with a malty body. This is our most popular ale due to its smooth and malty flavor. We use a mixture of pale, crystal and black malts in this one, and our primary hop is Target, though we also add some Whitbread Goldings Variation as well. The Real Ale is best fresh, so fresh in fact, that it's great right out of the bright tank.

Bu dans un resto à Bar harbor, Maine, en fut (20 oz). Ambrée bourgogne, mince collet. Arome de noix malté, peu de sucré. Goût de malte noisette faible, arrière goût amère simple. Une brune typique!

Bottle sampled. Pours brown with ruby edges and a off-white head. Aroma of toasted caramel malts, nuts, and slight sweetness. The flavor is sweet, caramel, toast, and nuts. Decent brew.

Came across this Atlantic Brewing Company variety pack (Ale, Blueberry, Ginger Wheat, Coal Porter) at Brewers Outlet (Butler Ave) in Lancaster. I didn’t really enjoy the first one I had but it grew on me as I drank a couple more...this being the last of the 6 in the case. Pours a nice dark brown...thin head...malty aroma. Bit of a thin mouthfeel but a decent flavor...malt...molassas as it warms. I wouldn’t run out and buy this one again but I enjoyed it for the most part.

Bottle-no best drink by date. Dark brown not opaque though. Small white head dissapates rapidly. Malty, chocolataly nose. Very thin mouthfeel and body. Alcohol comes through strong despite the 5.2% ABV. Flavors of malt, chocolate, candied flavors. Not a bad beer but I wouldn’t buy a sixer of this. Too bad this was the 50th-oh well....

Bottle, best by date has no notches. Pours dark brown, slightly cloudy with a medium and lasting head. Aroma is spicy-hopped molasses. Flavor is initially malt and spiced bubblegum, reminiscent of a Belgian yeast. Has some occasional slight sourish and smoky notes in the middle. Palate is chalky dry and slightly watery, with a light-medium body. Aftertaste reminds me sort of an Altbier. Interesting brown.

Rated 5/21/07: A higly malted, nicely hopped brown ale that offers a lot of character. Auburn pour with a foamy thick lasting head, little lacing. Caramel, chocolate, and roasted nuts in the aroma backed by a lingering hop bitterness. Medium bodied, wish it were creamier. Smooth taste, lots of blended malts, nutty, with a hint of raisins. Hops aren’t as discerning in the flavor but help to keep the balance. Delightful brown.

Single from Total Wine. I had no idea this was a brown ale when I bought it or I would have passed it by. Aroma is weak, lightly malty and lightly hoppy. Flavor is just boring. Not much nutty malty flavor as it advertises, a little hop presence, lightly astringent. Not bad, but completely forgettable. I have had some fairly poor brown ales lately and this is just another one,

Dark, strong, caramel flavor and hand crafted in small batches in Maine. Could be a turning point... I did enjoy
