Commercial Description:
Cheyenne Cañon Ale, the latest incarnation of the ever-popular Piñon Nut Brown, will be released Friday, July 6th. This year’s batch is a beauty. With malty sweetness up front, and a hint of nutty fruit in the finish, it’s a smooth, velvety ale that hides its higher-than-usual 6.9% ABV. Best of all, it feels as good as it tastes because 100% of the profits from the sale of each bottle or pint will be donated by Bristol to the Friends of Cheyenne Cañon, a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the natural resources of North Cheyenne Cañon Park.

dDark brown body with brownish head. A nutty characteristic on the malty nose. A little pine on the finish and faint chocolate and nuts on the lightly roasted malt body.

Had this beer on 7/25/2007. Aroma is full of pine with a nice roasted scent. Color is a bright amber with good carbonation and a nice tight head. Taste is bold and hoppy. Starting with a full body it goes down with a rich feel. Finish comes in with a sweet malt feel then has a strong raw hop flavor and mild bitterness, on the very end there is a slight hint of a dry nut taste. Its interesting, reminds me a bit of Arrogant Bastard only not as complex, but there is no nut taste unless roasted pine nuts taste like raw hops.

Draft at The Falling Rock in Denver. Poured a clear dark brown color with orange highlights. Head was off white. Smelled of chocolate and a #2 pencil. Toffee and toasted bread aromas also came out as it warmed up a bit. Slightly sweet on the tongue with a definite roasty/smoky note. Makes me wonder if the nuts were roasted before they were added. There were also hints of brown sugar, bacon, and molasses. Not bad. Nice to try a brown ale with a little something-something.

Draught. Pours mahagony nut brown with a small tan rocky head and faint spotty-lined lacing. Aroma is earthy yeast (dust, musty) and caramel malt (toasted grain, meal). Milk chocolate, caramel malt sweet sugary start, smooth creamy body, no acidity and bitterness, nutty throughout. Medium bodied and creamy, smooth palate.

tap at brewpub-pours a copper hue with a sudsy off-white head. nutty, chocolate, sweet aroma with a touch of hops. Also a sligght metalic note in the aroma. The pinion nut flavors only come through in mid palate. decent finish-piney/earthy hops. glacier and palasades hops-2 varieties im not that familiar with. A decent body for the style. not bad for this brewery.

2007 edition (Cheyenne Cañon bottle). Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium brown. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel, nuts, wort), lightly hoppy (flowers, resin), lightly yeasty (dough), with a hint of smoke. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation. Ho-hum this year...sweet and just a little bit raw/worty.

Draught @ Bristol Brewing Company. Burgundy in color. Subtle aroma of sticky fruits, stale fruit, brown sugar and caramel. Tastes of plums, cherries, toasted/roasted malts and nuts. Below average for the style.
