Commercial Description:
BBC Nut Brown Ale has a diverse grain bill which lends this traditional English ale a variety of flavors that coalesce into a remarkably smooth and pleasant drink. Additions of various pale, caramel and dark malts create a smooth, sweet malt profile with hints of roasted nuttiness. Multiple additions of English hops round out the flavors and give this classic beer a true flavor of the Old World.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a thick creamy rosy beige head. The aroma is roasted malt and nuts. Initial flavor is pretty full, rich, malty, weak coffee. Later it becomes a bit more nutty. The finish is dry, some bitterness, with a very weak coffee note. The bitterness is moderate but adds balance to the rest of the flavors. Medium body and somewhat smooth. A decent local offering.

Tinny aroma with light chocolate notes. Clear brown with a gigantic peach colored head. Tinny almond flavor with sweet hints of marzipan, but a little dirty. Pecan finish. Alcohol is a little insistent at times.

An old beer of the month that I found lingering the other day as I attempt to clean out my beer fridge. The label was different, but so was the one on the other BBC beer they sent me (amber/alt). Tasty brown, certainly not anything crazy, but solid, like the amber. Would try more from this place if they distributed here.

Pours a light brown bordering on copper. No head at all. Malty aroma with a hint of caramel. Taste is thin, lightly malty and just the proper amount of bitterness in the finish. OK brown ale.

Bottle poured a clear brown with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of fudge, carmel and light nuts. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, light carmel and a hint of nuts with a smooth malty finish.

12 oz. bottle that I received as a gift from my friend Russell. Pours a hazy brown with a thin-moderate off-white head that faded to a film after the first two sips and left scant lace. Very pleasant aroma of hazelnuts and chocolate. Very nice. The flavor steps back a bit from the aroma and is not as rich. There is a solid dose of English malt up front along with some mild hazelnut and just a bit of coffee. Overall, this is a pretty solid English style brown ale.

Unfortunately I didn’t take down good tasting notes beyond the numbers for this one!

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Red-brown, off white head. Aroma is toasty, caramel, hay. The taste is the same, toasted malt, toasted nuts, sweet malt, hay and grassy hops.
