Mar 8, 2008 On tap at Casey Jones. Pours a cloudy medium brown color with no head or lacing. Nose is malty caramel and roasted nuts. Palate is a lot like it smells – sweet caramel, malt and roasted nuts – a bit too sweet for my taste. It’s an easier drinker, but kind of dull and flat.

Feb 20, 2008 dark brown body with an orange-ruby highlight and light tan head; an overall nutty aroma with a nice, not too sweet flavor that unexpectedly offered me a note of invited chocolate; nice, nice label and name as well... i liked it.

Feb 18, 2008 A very malty brown beer, slightly sweet , with no hops flavor I could sense. A drinkable session brown, with a rich roasted malt character verging upon a porter but for the molasses notes in the middle.

Feb 18, 2008 Malt was noticible in taste along with light carmel and chocolate.. Had on tap and have had some bad experiences with tap beers at eateries. This beer tasted watered down and was nothing special at all. I might be guessing that it was due to the tap? Either way, if that was what the beer really tasted like, I would not buy again.

Feb 16, 2008 Dark color with a frothy medium sized tan head (though it seems most people experienced a much weaker head). A rich malty aroma. Taste mostly consists of roasty malts with hints of toffee, yet goes down surprisingly smooth with a velvety finish.

Feb 10, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a rich brown color with a small sized tan head. Aroma of toffee, caramel and very light hops. Taste includes rich malty notes such as molasses and dark fruits. I caught some vanilla and nut towards the end as well. Very good balance and much better than expected mouthfeel. Very drinkable as well. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer.

Feb 8, 2008 Poured dark mahogany wood color with a frothy head the dissipated at a normal level. The head retention was ok with limited laciness. The smell was of a stronger malt with hints of nuts and chocolate aroma. There is a touch of sweetness from a toffee molasses mix for a smooth taste. The hop flavor is limited which is expected. The taste is similar with more of the chocolate malt flavor then nuts. Very much a brown style ale (nut brown), but not what I would consider English. Overall this is a good example of a Nut Brown Ale as it has good flavor, ok body and very easy to drink.
