Commercial Description:
This dark brown ale is slightly sweet with a caramel and dark fruit finish. A show case of fine English malts, floor malted the old way. We use pale, chocolate, and crystal malts to produce a complex, but easy drinking dark ale. Very reminescent of northern English ales.

excellent beer, very smooth, soothing aroma. I recomend this beer for anyone who loves dark beer. "Uncle Nuts" nut brown ale resembles the taste of Guiness Draught or Murphy’s Draught.

This is my fave Brown Ale. Not overwelming hoppy taste. Very easy to drink

Thanks to emacgee. Now this is what a brown ale should strive for! The aroma on this beer was awesome, so fresh smelling. Very dark pour with minimal head. The taste was that of the smoothest dark beer I have ever tried. A nice mix of roasted malt with a touch of caramel make this a top notch brew.

Bottle, Poured dark brown in color with a tan small foamy head which dissipated soon after the pour. It has a nutty sweet aroma with little carbonation. The overall mouth feel was smooth and quite fllavorful, the flavor lasted quite a bit after the swallow. Definetly a good brew, and just right for the Brown Ale catogory!!

What a great little brown this one turned out to be..... This one could almost be classified as a porter.... Much, much darker than other browns.... Aroma of roasted malt and quite a bit of chocolate.... Very surprising taste of sweet roasted malts and a definite chocolate/cocoa finish that sets this one apart from most browns to me.... Great little beer from North Carolina.... What a treat...

Deep amber pour with tan head and lace. Toasted malt with a light b/ale sour. Toasted malt with a hint of sweet and an almost saltiness. Medium bodied but foamy.

Good brown ale with a nutty and somewhat hoppy taste. Very dark brown in color with a tan head....very sweet. Not a huge fan of nut browns but this was drinkable.

This nut brown pours just that, a dark brown with a head that is light brown and creamy. First sniff I found alot of spice. Cloves and a little chocolate? First sip had traces of coffee and alot of roasted malts. The finish was smooth and the spices really come through. The palate was very good. The nut and spice flavour lingered with a slight bitterness. I can’t understand the rating of only 37?! This is much better than that.
