Rating 1057, On tap at the brewery in Nashville TN. Listed simply as the Nut Brown Ale and in the description it mentions that it is a "Classic Nut Brown Ale." Clear ruby with a thin rim of head that is tan. Nose is thin with some grains but lagerish. Watery. Taste has lots fo grains and malts pretty typical brown/dark fruit taste. Pleasant.

5/10/2007: Blackstone English-Style Brown Ale (neck label reads "Nut Brown Ale") pours out a brown color that is mostly clear with traces of suspended sediment. The head is frothy and foamy, beige in color, and has a average size and retention period. The aroma is toast and a soft, mellow, buttery English maltiness accented by some nutty and chocolate scents. The flavor contains toasted, roasted malts, and is slightly nutty. There is a balancing bitterness that surfaces midway into the roasty finish. This beer has a medium body and mouthfeel, but is slightly watery in the finish. There is also a touch too much carbonation. This is a good and drinkable beer, but nothing special.

12 oz bottle (Best Before 04607FX) via trade with decaturstevo. Thanks again Steveo!

12OZ bottle VIA Decaturstevo (thanks!). This one is brown with a small beige head. Nose is toasted grains. Taste is biscuity with a nice balanced hop finish. Carbonation is moderate/high. Body is light/medium. Pretty good brown ale.

12oz bottle. Served 46F in snifter. Mahogany in colour. Head dissipates in less than a minute. Aroma of chocolate and leather. Thin on the palate and a bit more carbonated than I care for with long aftertaste of charred coffee. Gorgeous color but aftertaste is a bit cloying.

smoky, didn’t seem to be mixed all together, notbad though, thick, would try again.
