Bottle from kyzr. Pours dark brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma is of sweet roasted malt and nuts. A tad bit of sweetness as well. Flavor is more or less the same. Sweet lightly roasted malts followed by some nuts. A light dry finish. Rather thin, but it did taste good.

Sample from a 22 oz. bottle shared by decaturstevo at the Cincy gathering. Pours a hazy dark brown color with a small diminishing beige head. The aroma is sweet malts, nuts and brown sugar. The flavor has the same sweet malt, light nuts, and a hint of fruit. Definetly thin and watery. Thanks Steve for sharing.

The Dan Journal #131. Tasted 11/8/07. 22oz bomber. Murky brown hue. Buttery cocoa aromas. Dark fruits. Too fruity, not enough nutty. Gets slightly better as it watms. Syrupy and ample notes. Cinnamon and cocoa. Not too bad!

An aroma of nuts with a hint of caramel. A dark brown pour with a light tan head. Nice semi sweet malt flavor a bitter that is a bit less than pleasant-nutty. A bit thin and a bit fizzy. Not a bad beer but needs some work for sure.

From decaturstevo at the Cincinnati RateBeer Gathering. Looks like a cola, Smells like flowers, oily with thin head, lacks flavor; strong finish firmly concludes opinion: not impressive.

More of an alcholic aroma than nutty. Flavor is slightly nutty, strong and malty. Smoothes out like sheets baby. Big thanks to decaturstevo for sharing at the Cincinnati Ratebeer Gathering.

8/03/2007: Bitter Root Nut Brown Ale is a dark brownish red color with a frothy tan head. The aroma is mostly brown sugar and caramel. The flavor is fruity with some dark maltiness and a slightly nutty quality. It is a decent Nut Brown Ale overall.

22 oz bottle shared by decaturstevo at the Cincinnati RateBeer Gathering. Thanks for sharing Stevo and glad you could make it up for the gathering! Rating #18 for this beer...

Bottle sample at Cincy Ratebeer Gathering. Poureed hazy dark brown hue with average rocky off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted nutty malt aroma. Flavor was moderate toasted balanced sweet with an average bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Medium smooth body. Good brew.
