Jun 9, 2009 Tap@Brewer’s Alley in Frederick, MD->mini pilsner glass. Pours a Diminishing white head atop a clear, amber body. I could detect no discernible aroma. Malt flavor, thin, and a bitter aftertaste with a lingering taste of almonds. Never been crazy about nut browns, but my impressions seem to mirror most of the reviews here.

Mar 15, 2009 Draft. A brownish red color with a small off-white head. Nutty notes in the nose along with some roasted malt. Low carbonation with a medium light mouthfeel. Mild bitterness with heavy malt, earth and nut notes on the palate. It is a little watery but finishes clean. Just okay for a brown ale.

Feb 16, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours mahogany with thin off-white head. The aroma is very weak with some caramel and a little bit of nuttiness. The flavor is caramel, peanut shells, and some earthiness. Simple-minded and unimpressive.

Aug 22, 2008 From draught sample at the brewpub. This one has a light bitter nutty aroma, with just a hint of coffee and toasted grain. Neutral fruitiness. Light amber-brown clear, with thin off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Not sure what’s going on with this one; there’s a nice malty component with roasted grain and nutty character. Even a bit of light coffee. But, there seems to be a heavy hand of tannic bitterness here, along with overbrewed tea and some heavy oxidation. Light sweet alcohol taste at the very end, with mild nutty finish.

Jun 29, 2008 pours a clear red/orange shade of medium brown with a thin off white head which fades to leave a film. faint aroma of caramel, toasted nuts, coffee and a light fruitiness. the flavor is definitely nutty and toffee toasted nearly to the point of being burned. dry finish with coffee and nuts exploding in the aftertaste. medium body well done and very quaffable...
