Dec 26, 2009 Appearance: Clear, dark brown body with a ruby-hued hints at the edges and capped with a small-sized, off-white head.
Smell: Modestly roasty nose with notes of chopped walnuts, chocolate powder, and coffee.
Taste: Chocolate and coffee blend with a taste of roasted nuts. Lightly sweet. All-around earthy taste. Very mild hop character and bitterness. Drying, nutty finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s a tolerable nut brown ale and one of the few offerings available at Blackhorse that wasn’t riddled with buttery diacetyl.

Oct 12, 2008 This is an ale and its brown. So far, so good. Aroma is a mix of chestnuts and hops. More nutty than hoppy in the flavor. Also rather bready and tosty. Not ba, actually. Sampled at the2008 Knoxville Brewer’s Jam

Oct 12, 2008 Brewer’s Jam. Yep, this is brown. I was delighted to find strong coffee suggestions in the aroma. This isn’t one of those overly sweet browns. Hints of toffee, chocolate, and nutshells are also present. The flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma, but it’s still decent. I get hints of roasty coffee, nuts, biscuits, and chocolate. Something seems a little gummy which is the only downer. This is pretty adept for the style.
